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.

Add a bottle of cold coffee/milk mixture to blender:
Add hail:
Blend at maximum power until hail is finely ground:
Pour into large mug or glass:
Add whipped cream topping:
Now this is a great way to end a good storm chase day!

This is so unusual. I never thought you could make a coffee frappucino with hail. That sounds delicious. Hopefully, I get to try that sometime. - Posted by Evan Popchock
