• 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.

short: Intercepted fairly long-lived supercell that tracked from Eads to W of Lamar to Springfield. Overall, very nice high-based supercell structure, slightly undercut the whole time, very strong easterly inflow 35-40mph. Came to a dead-end on a ranch road and eventually got cored. Waded through water-logged grated county road ~ 25 SSW Lamar, serendipitously leading to outstanding "in the wake of" storm structure with mammatus-filled sky, golden and pink hues, etc. Very memorable late-summer chase, of course, sans tornado.

Long and more photos: Read my blog post.

Nice one Mike! Took off from Denver for a nice night chase down in Crowley County (about 50 miles east of Pueblo/I-25). Watched an incredible HP storm with all variations of lightning (intracloud & base crawlers shooting out almost non-stop), as it formed just east of the foothills near Pueblo & went off for a couple hours, reforming in the upslope flow while anchored over almost the same spot. Got hit with cold, rainy outflow about 11pm & headed back home.
