From Dan: How the crime of copyright infringement took $1 million from me and shut down my operation.

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.

2014 was an active and exciting year. The year's first tornadoes came a month before official spring, with a total of 9 chased before the beginning of summer. The big highlight of the year was finally succeeding with the Chicago skyscraper lightning project during an incredible storm on June 30.
