Made the right call
|
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. |
The prayer worked. We would have made a two-and-a-half day, $350 trip to Alabama to see gusty winds and heavy rain all day. As expected, there were tornadoes, some strong - but after watching radar for much of the day, it appears that most of not all of the tornadoes were associated with circulations imbedded in the messy squall line. This scenario often results in transient rain-embedded supercells that are hard to intercept. Not to mention that most of the action was WAY south - much further south than we had anticipated.
Busting is a big part of chasing, and you have to go out if you want to see anything. But I'm glad I'm getting ready for bed in my dry, warm house right now, instead of driving through endless blinding downpours on a dark, curvy Interstate 81 in Tennessee - with 9 more hours to go before getting home - with the weight and frustration of an unsuccessful major chase on my mind. Just thinking about that makes me exhausted. Which will help me get to sleep in a few minutes.
