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.
Bridges were icy in Pittsburgh this morning. A scene of an apparent pileup on an overpass at Robinson Town Center was visible at 7:15AM, viewable live via PennDot's traffic camera network. Another single-car accident was visible on the camera network on an overpass in Bridgeville. Numerous accidents were occuring across the area - with a 15 to 20 car pileup reported on Route 68 in Beaver. The Post Gazette Traffic Report has live updates.
WV SNOW UPDATE 1 (8:00AM): The weather obs and the Herald-Dispatch webcam confirms decent snowfall in progress in Huntington right now. The webcam shows cars covered with a coating of snow, which indicates bridges and overpasses could be in the same condition. Very light snow is currently falling in Charleston now, but it appears the Lake Michigan band will generally bypass the city to the south and west.
WV SNOW UPDATE 2 (10:30AM): Huntington looks to be the winner for snow totals today, with the Lake Michigan banding setting up squarely over downtown for most of the morning. With temps right at or slightly above freezing, not much in the way of accumulations were realized. In Charleston, a few protrusions from the main band to the south swept through downtown around 9:30AM. However, with temps in the mid-30s and sunlight peeking through the clouds to warm the ground even further, none of the flakes stuck. Here is a short clip from Charleston's snowfall this morning:
