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.

A quick post to highlight three new pages added to the site in the past couple of weeks:

Winter lightning, severe storms and thundersnow
After finally capturing thundersnow on camera for this first time last weekened, I decided I had a complete enough set of material to write a full article on wintertime lightning and thundersnow. I have seen a lot of winter lightning, so this page includes links to all winter storm chase logs where lightning was observed and/or captured.
Hurricanes and Tropical Storm chase logs
This is a spin-off of the tornado chase logs page that lists all of my hurricane and tropical storm intercepts. This is a complete list of all chase logs from my landfalling tropical system chases.
Floods and Flash Floods chase logs
I have covered many floods and flash floods over the years - this page lists the more notable events. There are a few past flood chases that still need to be added here, but this list is fairly complete.

As far as the current storm season goes, a few Midwestern tornado/supercell storm chase days may be happening as early as Sunday. Stay tuned!

April 1 Sunset

A few rain showers skirted by to the east of New Baden at sunset tonight. The warming air that produced these is a welcome sign of storms to come as the spring severe weather season in the Midwest ramps up in the coming days, weeks and months!
