Mississippi River flood of 2019 photos: Alton, Illinois
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. |
The Mississippi River crested this week at Alton, Illinois, just below the record set in 1993.
The line of red paint on the downtown grain elevator marks the 1993 high water line, showing how close the 2019 flood came to matching that record.
