2023 Storm Chasing & Photography Accounts, Photos and Videos
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 year started out active, with a tornado/severe storm risk as well as icy roads in and close to St. Louis. The spring severe weather season started out been busy, but the traditional peak of the season was anomalously quiet in the Great Plains and Midwest. Activity picked up after the second half of June, however, with some memorable storms.
