The St. Louis flood of December 2015: Videos and Pictures
|
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. This page is a detailed account of the biggest threat to my photography and video operation that I had to battle daily to just barely survive, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem facing all of my colleagues as well. |
This page is a work in progress, as I'm still compiling video and images after several days of covering this event.

Videos
Since I work in the capacity of a news cameraman, these videos have a more comprehensive selection of shots than I have in still images. These are the actual raw cuts of the videos I fed out to the networks.
