• 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.

Here's my report from Saturday, July 16, 2005, south of Moose Jaw and east of Old Wives Lake. After making it to Moose Jaw around 3pm, I checked the radar at the local cafe/bar and saw that a nice severely warned storm was headed straight east towards Old Wives Lake. So I simply drove south a bit to get a good position and waited. As expected, things got nasty around 4:20pm and I raced east with this fast moving wind producer until I got hit with a bit of hail (nickel to quarter size) at Yellowgrass. The storm seemed to split and lose energy at that point however when I got home the same system hit Winnipeg causing all kinds of havoc including power lines down.

As I took well over 150 snaps that day, there is still lots to go through and I am posting new photos on my site daily. Here is one boring pic with a couple video links:
