Fun day... 3 small tornadoes and a big bull snake

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.

I was going to put this under a new post called "wimpiest tornadoes," but here goes. I had some "bid-ness" in San Francisco, CA, but then did an efficient & timely drive out to near Nickerson, KS. I met up with Mikey Gribble by chance while a low-precipitation cell was getting its act together. He's been chasing for a Wichita station for a couple of decades now.
This storm was moisture-starved from convection further south towards north-central TX, but it dropped several funnels at close range. Another chaser commented about the lack of rain & hail at that time of the photos. It soon developed a rotating miasma of dust that Sean Casey and other chasers drove into before it transitioned to a rainier, classic supercell as it pressed on.
