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.


Accident on Lumley Road bridge at I-540 in Raleigh on Tuesday

Looking at timelapse video from yesterday, it appears that there was not much snow but more freezing rain problems for the Charleston area - compared to Huntington, which saw an all-snow event. Here is a compilation of news reports on the icy road event that affected a large part of the midwestern and eastern US on Tuesday. Well over a thousand accidents and least four fatalities have resulted in this outbreak - yet another reminder of why icy roads are the number one weather related hazard in the US.
