• A student is looking for help on tropical cyclone prediction. Please fill out the survey linked to this thread: https://stormtrack.org/threads/storm-and-hurricane-intensity-prediction-survey.32957
  • 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.

Moving through western Birmingham - reporter claims that that's as far as they can pan the camera.

Rather sickening image right now on sky cam of people driving on the freeway right into the circulation region.... latest radar image shows circulation very close to DT Birmingham.... -106/122 kts.

TWO TORNADOES appear to be 'training' as this cell cycles back to the west !!!
Stunning !!!
 
cell to the west is rapidly becoming large tornado as well !!! Almost following the same path as previous path at Birmingham.
 
Awful, awful... it seems whatever site I go to has live tornadoes on it. Andy Gabrielson has one just east of the Mississippi/Alabama border, abc3340.com, and I expect whnt.com will have one soon. I'm listening abc3340 right now and the damage they are getting reported is EF4/EF5 (awaiting confirmation/survey, of course). Birmingham saw debris from Tuscaloosa before the tornado got to it.
 
looks like initial tornado has faded, new circulation tightening to the WSW... classic cyclic cell
new tornado circulation forming over Tarrant City area !!!
 
Just saw some damage pics. Looked just like the May 3rd aftermath. With all the focus on the BHM tornado, I started looking at the other cells around this area and some are just as impressive!
