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.

Update (8:24PM): More photos and video added: With an abundant supply of cold air aloft, a little surface heating from the sun was all that was needed to touch off widespread convective snow showers across the region today. With surface temps in the 40s, nothing was close to sticking - but the visual appearance of the low-topped cells was impressive. Get a good look, since these may be the last flakes of the season!

This full-day timelapse video from the sky camera shows several cells passing overhead, the strongest of which occurs just before sunset:

Charleston dodged a bullet this morning - a band of snow showers passed just to our west in the subfreezing air - coating bridges and overpasses and causing accidents in the Lexington, Kentucky metro area.
