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 6:51AM Monday, (Posted via Laptop from Tulsa, OK):
Up early after a decent sleep, thanks to the lack of forecast thunderstorms in eastern Oklahoma tonight. If the lack of precip continues, that could make today's outbreak setup even more ominous by allowing greater instability to develop. Will be departing sometime late this morning.

Was that Ponca City tornado from the northern cell or from the cell that blew up near Enid that went through Red Rock? I was on the Enid-Red Rock storm.

Jeff, this was from the next cell down from the Medford-Wakita storm. The tornado in the last image was very brief - as the funnel lifted, the ground circulation hit some plowed dirt and raised a debris cloud for about 10 seconds. I'll post some video soon.

Nice catch, congrats!
