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.

CHASE LOG 1: April 24-25: Texas/Oklahoma

CHASE LOG 3: April 27-30: Oklahoma
CHASE LOG 4: May 1: Texas

Update - added the final two logs for 2009 storm chase expedition #1. I figured since the 2001 and 2002 storm chase expeditions were probably the benchmark of enjoyability for me (despite not seeing tornadoes), and since at least the first trip of 2009 closely resembles the events of those first two seasons, that I'd go back to the 2001-style Plains trip log format for the 2009 logs. Every season on the Plains is memorable (I definitely don't mean to downplay the other years), but those first 2 seasons are the ones that stand out the most - maybe due to the 'newness' of the experience back then. I thought I'd try to capture the same enthusiasm of 2001-2002 by patterning this year's logs the same way.

Nice one, good results Dan, glad you had a great time. Followed it every day.
