• 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 Signature Tornado

Good day all,

I am sure this will "stand out" as easily recognizable ...

Last year we had Greensburg, mostly because of its notoriety, and from Canada's perspective, the EF-5 Elie, MB tornado...it's tough to beat video of flying houses.

What strikes me about 2008, a year with massive numbers and deaths, is how few spectacular tornadoes their were from widely published video/pics. So many were rain-wrapped, after dark, in the trees, fast movers, etc.

Now 2008 isn't over yet. The Northern Plains is currently active. 1987 is probably best remembered by the two F4 tragedies, Saragosa, TX and Edmonton, Alberta. The latter occurred on July 31.

I'm thinking more of a chase week to remember vs a storm or tube. The week and weekend of May 21st - 28th were one's to remember.

Of course, I have to go with Quinter KS. From pulling Brandon out of the mud (I want to see that video Chris) to honking at the DOW's while telling they Discovery camera crew standing in the road their number one as I drove past them and everyone else just so I could get a shot with no tail lights in the footage.
