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.

Decent little couplet on the storm moving into the NW suburbs of St Louis, actually this storm looks better on radar then any of the others that have been producing further North.

Iowa City getting nailed right now, nice little supercell with hook, unknown if any damage or anything was reported but it went right over the airport.

Should also add that we had damage in Des Moines, IA, today as well. An SUV was flipped over in downtown where there was also some powerline damage. On the south side of the city near the airport we had windows blown out of many cars. Looking at the Level2 data it appears that the damage areas might be associated with two weak mesovortices.

Damage reports are coming in on television in St. Louis from Marion Co. and Palmyra, Missouri. The reports are sounding fairly serious at this point. We'll likely have to wait till daylight to see the nature of the damage, but what I've heard doesn't sound too positive.

Just got off the phone with local media...nothing too significant in the Monroe City/Palmyra. However, there is damage. A side note...sounds like the same area that was hit in 2006 in Monroe City got hit again.
