CORYDON, IN - On our return trip from Illinois, we encountered impressive flash flooding in Corydon, Indiana (near I-64 about 30 miles west of Louisville, Kentucky). Indian Creek was out of its banks and flooding many of the town's streets. The water was very swift and turbulent, and was roaring in many spots. The flood was threatening a railroad bridge in town, with water lapping at the bottom of the girders while large logs and pieces of debris jammed up against the supports. According to the locals, we arrived just after the crest of the flood earlier in the afternoon, the water only dropping about a foot from crest before we got there.
One of the most impressive sights in the floodwaters were the swells and reverse-breaking waves that dramatically rose and fell just downstream from spots where the water flowed over a large object. This display was the most impressive at the site of a small low-head dam north of town near I-64. A continuous area of huge breakers was followed by a large area of roaring water. There was a lot of power in that water, and was the kind of sight that makes me never want to be caught in a flash flood!
My work is, at this very moment you are reading this, generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I was forced to shut down the professional side of 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.
