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.

The 2021 winter season was slightly below average in terms of interesting weather - that is, until February 8 when a historic arctic air mass swept all the way into the Gulf of Mexico. Icy roads and frigid temperatures were seen all the way to Brownsville, Texas. That event resulted in a 10-day trip, my longest ever for a winter storm chase expedition. During the month of May, I saw a total of 11 tornadoes across the Plains and Midwest.
