• 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.

JUst driving home from a late night run to Iowa. I watched a great light show just south of Mason City Iowa.

The chase gear needed to be modified some. I needed to wear the winter weather gear as the OAT is 42F out.

But it was worth it. One of the first images of 2007 made my season since I have been trying for a while to get this shot.

I managed to grab a bunch of lightning shots from the SVR warned storms to my north. Numerous cg's were visible from my vantage point. It was nearing midnight when these were shot. I just wasn't feeling ambitious enough to set off and really get on it since I work at 7 a.m. lol. I started shooting in Port Byron then made a 15-20 mile hike north to Albany, but that was about the extent of my "chase". By far not my best lightning outing, but still lightning nevertheless.
