• 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.

On Wednesday, 21st of October 2007, a strong thunderstorm with massive rainfalls occured in the city of Hadera in Israel. At about 3.38 pm I saw a funnel cloud growing downwards to becoming a tornado. I was in the southern part of Givat Olga neighborhood (westernmost part of Hadera, next to the Mediterranean Sea, http://maps.google.de/?ie=UTF8&t=k&om=1&ll=32.43363,34.887321&spn=0.029919,0.058365&z=14) and the tornado was in north-northwestern direction from me. I'm not good at estimating distances, but I think it was about 1 or 2 km away.

However, I didn't find any reports on the media about this. Can anyone confirm the tornado?
 
November

Of course it wasn't 21st of October but 21st of November. Sorry.
 
Did it look like this ?

you were near the mediterranean?

the only mention of a tornado or waterspout in israel is this one
it says it is from the day before but maybe they got the day wrong also !
