• 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.

2008-05-22 Structure, KS

There were several storms that day and they went for hours. When and where was this taken? It looks like a small, block wall cloud.

Edit: After watching the video, you can see the whole structure better. It's the right, lowered edge of the wall cloud. That portion of the wall cloud feeds directly off the rain cooled air from the forward flank and often extends much closer to the ground. You can see the rest of the wall cloud and RFD clear slot behind it earlier on in the video.

You're probably looking at something like this but from a different angle:

That was shot three days later than your shots, also in Kansas.
 
Thanks alot Skip! I can't even remember what storm this was, I know I was on a N/S road though :) also later in that day I saw the Granola, KS tornado... Now that I am watching the video I think that was a tornado, seeing as the rotation was left of the appendage and you can see a tiny funnel at 0:36.


AHHHHH..... 2008, my first year I "chased" after storms. I thought it was always that easy haha, 2009-2012 has shown me different.
 
Brandon-- this looks alot like what we saw that day, just south of Grainfield, KS. I remember noting this similar shape while we were on hwy 23, south of I70-- which went on to produce tornadoes near Grainfield and later, Hoxie.
