• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

  1. 1998-10-16 Yocemento KS Tornado

    Hello all, I bring to y’all another past tornado chase! On this day in 1998, a late season F3 tornado would impact area around Yocemento KS. Mike Umscheid, who would later become a meteorologist with NWS Dodge City, would capture almost the entire lifecycle of the tornado, eventually losing it...
  2. Almena KS Tornado June 3 1999

    I bring tidings and a new tape transfer. Recently digitized some Hi8 tapes for Dr. Jay Antle, who gave me his blessings to share his video of the (in)famous Almena KS tornado from June 3 1999. Despite being a very well documented tornado, very few videos of it have made their way online, so why...
  3. What is the best free editing software?

    I have looked around trying to find an editing software that is free to use. I will primarily use it to edit video but would also like to color grade both videos and pictures. I currently have OpenShot Video Editor and it works for video pretty well. I have looked at Da Vinci Resolve and was...
  4. Budget Video Camera For the 2023 Storm Chasing Season

    I am a new storm chaser that is looking for a main video camera for the 2023 storm chasing season. I have been using my phone but I rather just use my phone for radar only. My budget is around $200-$500 but would be willing to go up to $600 if there was a good deal on a camera. It would be...
  5. June 24 2003 SE South Dakota Tornadoes by Eric Nguyen

    I finally remembered the password to my Stormtrack account. This day is pretty much synonymous with the Manchester area tornadoes, but in honor of 19 years a couple months ago, I was given permission to share Eric Nguyen’s videos of the Centerville area tornadoes (thank you Scott Currens), which...

    Video Camera For the 2023 Storm Chasing Season

    I am a 15 year old that is looking to get my first camera for storm chasing. I am mainly looking for a camcorder but if there is a DSLR or Mirrorless camera that takes good video without overheating I might be interested. It would be my main camera and would be mounted on my windshield or...

    Old Newbie

    Greetings all, I'll be on the road looking for super cells as soon as I know what one is. My object is to photograph with stills or time lapse, and make videos of those magnificent visions of creation. I'm a bit passionate about it. When I was a boy, I spent an evening I'll never forget...

    2016 roofcam upgrades

    I've been working on a "holy grail" roofcam off and on for the past 7 years and thought I'd post my progress on the final chapter here. First a little background on the project. I usually chase solo and wanted a foolproof way to get the highest quality video without having to exit the car and...
