Thank you for taking the time to look this up and finding the facts. I'll be happy with a burned copy (just a plain DVD). This was an honest mistake, and I don't wish to take $25 from any charity.

I'm very sorry I was so reactive and abraisive in my original reply; you've always been very cool to me and have never crossed me in any way shape or form. No hard feelings.

None taken.

You can have a copy of the first edition any time next week (stop by NSSL), or wait for the second edition a few weeks after that. Just send me a PM with your choice.

We're hoping that the other contributors do the same! Even though the chapter producers all got a complimentary copy, all six agreed to waive their production costs (DV tapes, FedEx charges, etc, which we had intended to reimburse), which ended up a wash for them anyway.

What actually threw our estimate off was that we discovered that COCAMS (who fronted the wholesale cost of the DVDs) did not have sales-tax exempt status, and thus we ended up paying $40 more for the batch (the cost of ~11 DVDs), and we had to make that up somehow in order for folks to keep their $20 per DVD tax writeoff. This will all be detailed online.

Nevertheless, the second edition DVDs will be announced for sale soon. See here for details.

The second edition of the Storms of 2004 is now available. We have begun taking orders again on the website via PayPal:

The second edition includes some improvements from the first, including remixed audio on the May 24 chapter, and the addition of new background music to the May 12 chapter, composed by Dave Lewison and Greg Stumpf. Several other "bugs" were fixed in the second edition.

We made a very sizable donation ($2002.63, or $20.03 per DVD) to the Red Cross and COCAMS from the sale of the first batch of DVDs:

For the second batch, a portion of the proceeds this time to be directed to the Red Cross International Response Fund for the tsunami relief. We hope to sell all 100 DVD of this batch as well. Please spread the word!
