Raleigh area tornado outbreak

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.

Unbelievable. My next blog post was going to be about Raleigh finally getting some real rain today, but that seems trivial now given the latest turn of events. A mini-outbreak of tornadoes struck just south of Raleigh today. One tornado report was relayed at the intersection of Old Stage Road and Rock Service Road, and another one over Lake Benson. This track means the tornadic circulation could have passed within a few hundred yards, if not directly over, the house here! The tornado was most certainly visible from the property. Where was I? At my brother's wedding rehearsal in downtown Raleigh! Some of the tornadoes were photographed and have been making headlines here. My brother's wedding is tomorrow, so I will not be able to get out and do a damage survey until Sunday.
