The number one question these days from storm chasers is "How do I make money from streaming?"

First off, the SevereStudios "free" streaming account service was started so everyone had an equal chance to stream and had nothing to do with making money. Those who felt they were up to the task of media chasing were able to purchase a "better package", so they can get more features. Basic accounts are still free.

However, those who want to join the SS Associate Chaser program are able to make some money by selling their video.

As you can see, the feed hosted by Ustream (www.ustream.tv) is very blocky and "pixelated". In comparison, the SevereStreaming feed is much clearer.

SevereStreaming's Windows Media stream quality beats any Flash-based streaming on low bandwidth (like uploading from a cellular internet card). Clear up your stream by signing up with SevereStreaming today!

Clip from KAIT in Jonesboro, AR during the tornado outbreak on May 2, 2008.

Ryan Vaughan and his crew were watching the live stream off to the side while covering the Earle, AR tornado.

At the time KAIT did not have a licensing agreement to take the video feed live to air, but were still watching the feed to give play-by-play to their viewers of what was happening on Brett Adair's stream.

Here's what was being seen on Brett's stream as KAIT was watching:
