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.


Incoming storm over Charleston

Ended up with an interesting event right in the heart of town today, as a burst of convection pulsed right over Charleston. Yeager Airport reported a wind gust of 84mph, and there was some intense, isolated tree damage on Coonskin Drive - including a trunk snapped off halfway up. Amazingly, I didn't lose power at the house, so the sky camera was able to capture the event (notice the wind shift after the passage of the cold front/squall line). Some ominous cloud structure with these storms, but not much lightning. More photos:
