5/9 Miami, Oklahoma lightning show

From Dan: How the crime of copyright infringement took $1 million from me and brought down my business.

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. This page is a detailed account of the biggest threat to my photography and video operation that I had to battle daily to just barely survive, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem facing all of my colleagues as well.

Weak thunderstorms put on an excellent lightning show Sunday evening in northeastern Oklahoma. I encountered the storms just after sunset at Miami (that's pronounced "My-am-uh" in OK), where cloud-to-ground strikes were frequent and photographically cooperative. I'm currently in Tulsa waiting on a possible round 2 of overnight lightning, then of course tomorrow's potential tornado outbreak.
