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.

The first Great Plains storm chase expedition of the 2015 spring season is under way! This system promises several good opportunities for tornadoes as good upper support from a western US trough overspreads instability in the Plains. This system has already brought photogenic tornadoes in Texas and Kansas yesterday and today.

I'm heading in a general westerly direction into Kansas, and will choose either I-35 southwest or I-70 west to target tomorrow's setup. Stay tuned for updates!

The following table charts the probability of a Great Plains storm chase expedition happening for several indicated date ranges in the near future:
