• 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.

So of course if there's a Tornado Watch three hours or less from you, you have to chase it! The dryline was very nice in e Co with 30Tds at Limon and 60Td at Burlington. I got on this storm north of Burlington, CO around 5:00pm MDT. The inflow was intense out of the southeast lifting dirt off the ground and lofting tumbleweeds.

Once I got up next to it it was showing a nice LP barberpole structure and visible rotation aloft...

in 30 minutes it pinched off, and it was gone! Great to get out in a red box in September!
 
Just when I thought I was the only chaser on that storm, LOL! Also chased that LP supercell (probably along the same route as Verne). Caught up to the storm just in time to get a few structure shots before it fizzled out around 6:15 MDT:
