Flood potential in Kentucky and West Virginia tonight

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

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.

As expected, training heavy rain associated with a stalled frontal boundary is setting up across Kentucky tonight. This image shows the radar-estimated precipitation totals for today so far, indicating several swaths of one-inch plus amounts across Kentucky:

While one inch of rain over a few hours is not usually enough to cause high water problems, this rainfall has saturated the ground so that further heavy rain will have nowhere to go but into the creeks and streams. Radar indicates heavy rain and even some thunderstorms moving across the area toward the Charleston-Huntington corridor, and flooding has already been reported in Kentucky generally along and south of I-64. Flood watches have been issued for most of the area through tomorrow morning. Top all of that off with some rare December lightning displays, and it looks like an active night that I'll need to stay up and keep an eye on.
