• 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.

An approaching cold front produced winds w/ gusts nearing hurricane strength in some parts of the state of Hawaii. The NWS issued a high wind warning, as well as a flash flood warning.

I was hoping for an opportunity to photograph lightning (a rare event in Hawaii), but the band of t-storms weakened just as it reached Oahu.

I did experience some intense winds, & witnessed a few power flashes which preceeded power outages. The rest of the island experienced downed utility poles & uprooted trees. The following link includes damage pics:

I thought there was a brief NWS Blizzard Warning for the high elevations on the islands due to snow and blowing snow. Not sure how long that lasted.
 
You are correct; that was for the Big Island. It lasted several hours until the winds subsided. It was funny hearing a blizzard warning on my weather radio in Hawaii!
