• 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.

Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone knew of any YouTube channels that feature "chase vlogs" from the 90s, 2000s, or early 2010s. I absolutely love watching channels like Chaotic Horizons, Chroniques Chaotiques, Scott McPartland, Shane Adams, and Tony Laubach (I know you're on here!!) that showcase older storm chase events in a vlog format.

As a kid who grew up in the late 90s and early 2000s, I’ve always been fascinated by severe weather events from that era. I find it incredibly interesting to watch old footage of people chasing storms long before high-resolution model data and social media existed—it just feels more authentic!

I know Silver Lining Tours has some content, but I’d love to find more. Any other recommendations? Thanks in advance!
 
Back in that era, the chase highlights DVD was a big thing. They were basically a series of chase vlogs before vlogs existed. Many chasers put them together and sold copies, sometimes every year. I'm not sure how hard it would be to track any of those down these days. I'd think many who did them might still have copies and/or be willing to start a Youtube channel with them.

I used to have Shane Adams's whole collection. Unfortunately, I was too young and didn't realize storm chasers sold DVDs and such back in the 2000s or else I'd have an unnecessary amount of Storm Chaser DVDs. Lol. I mainly collected old Nat Geo/Life magazines showcasing storm chasing and tornadoes.

Shane's uploaded all of his to YouTube!
 
Was tempted to download Driven By Passion 1 because it'd probably be an interesting watch ... but then I saw it was 4.7 gigs in size..
