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.

We're about at the midpoint of the spring storm season, and it's been a great one so far for amazing stormy skies over St. Louis and the Gateway Arch! Here's a roundup of some of the new imagery captured for the gallery in the past 2 weeks (videos also posted below):

FULL GALLERY: View more images of lightning and storms over the Arch and downtown St. Louis at the St. Louis Storms and Weather Gallery And finally: an outing that didn't quite fit anywhere else and wasn't noteworthy enough for its own page:

May 1 Illinois/Indiana severe storms

I headed up to Champaign/Urbana, IL for supercells moving into weastern Indiana. I ended up in Terre Haute after following a couple of storms eastward, but neither saw nor captured anything of note.

The lightning displays have been so incredible lately! I love it though. :) Love the photos and the videos, too. I've loved watching storms ever since I was a kid. There's something that's really fascinating about them.
