CHARLESTON, WV - After you've paid attention to the weather for more than a few years, you start to realize that unusual weather is actually normal. Things like thunderstorms in November are rare, but not all that unheard of. I was however a little surprised at how active the storms that went through Charleston tonight were, more reminiscent of a mid-April event than for something this time of year. The temperatures in the low 50s during the storms were some of the coldest I've felt while watching lightning. Snow is in the forecast for tomorrow night, quite a spectrum of weather to be seen in this 36-hour period.
I went up to Fort Hill and set up the cameras for about 20 minutes, and got these.
My work is, at this very moment you are reading this, generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I was forced to shut down the professional side of 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.
