In September of 2025, my work is generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I'm being forced to shut down my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field.
The fire started at 11AM just a few miles west of our office this morning. I saw the smoke on the way in, but didn't realize what it was at first. Some 'before' photos can be seen at miltonfleamarket.com.
Please tell me you got a close up of the Hurricane Fire and Resuce sign on the side of the fire truck - Posted by Doug Kiesling from you mind
I work in Hurricane - I really need to go around and get shots of all of the signs everywhere. I already have shots of the signs for Tornado 5 miles away. - Posted by Dan R. from Charleston, WV
Very nice pictures of the fire.Do you have any more? - Posted by Charity from Milton, WV
Unfortunately this is all I was able to get. I didn't find out about the fire until after 1PM, at which point it was over with. - Posted by Dan R. from Charleston, WV
