• 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.

07/05/05 -- TALK: Hurricane Dennis

This has the potential to be a MAJOR disaster for central and southern Indiana.

According to the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center:

Oh. Crap.

The only saving grace may be that the state has been relatively dry since the widespread 1-3 inch rains of the remnants of Arlene back on 11-13 June. However, 17 inches falling on the confluence of the White and Wabash Basins would be absolutely unbelievable.

It's going to be a busy couple of weeks for us at IND.

Wow, if that pans out, I think the restrictions on water usage will be lifted soon over WRN and NWRN KY. Looks like I am in the 4-5" rainfall zone here.

Geez, that's a lot of rainfall potential. Seems it's either feast or famine doesn't it?

They have since, as the graphic shows, (forgot that would keep updating like that) backed off considerably. I'm not surprised at all. There still exists significant rainfall potential given that it appears that our good buddy here is going to camp over the lower Ohio Valley through the weekend, but not the disaster that the earlier predictions were making it out to be. Of course, this is the easiest way to change that so Dennis can make a liar out of me. I remain a little surprised that the folks at the QPF desk hit this so hard so early. Usually it seems like such things are ramped up as things get going.

I'm sure as hell not going to criticize them for it, though. They do a fine job and I'm sure they saw something that led them to go all out on their QPF.
