Day 4: Potential outbreak across Kansas, Oklahoma

By DAN ROBINSON

Editor/Photographer

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 10:38PM CDT: Played the higher CAPE target in the panhandles, and didn't see much. A disappointing day considering what was had up north on the I-70 corridor. Currently in Dodge City for the night, wondering if the models and the SPC are right about redevelopment over us overnight.

Some photos from the day:

8:31AM CDT: Getting ready to leave Amarillo in a few minutes, heading northeast. Updates to this blog will probably become more sporadic due to the major storm chase days - but should be able to post quick updates at the start and end of each day.

GOOD LUCK AND STAY SAFE. I HOPE YOU SEE SOME GOOD STORMS AND GET SOME GREAT VIDEO. SALLY R
