• 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.

just watching an intense bow echo moving though Wisconsin. this was the text from the warning issued a bit ago:

It's been a long time since I have seen forecast warning winds of 100 mph, and the storm is moving at 90 mph:eek:

not sure if anyone is chasing this, but hopefully there will be some pics or video that comes from this. that's got to be some shelf cloud!!

also there are storms warned for winds in excess of 80 mph in eastern Iowa
 
I couldn't find any time in the loop when the storms were moving at 90mph, and the highest observed winds were 50-70mph. There were two streamers on it, looked pretty impressive. Gust front is surging well out ahead of the line on the south side which should hurt things a bit. Stuff off MKE is hitting the chilly lake - question is will it redevelop when temps jump 30 degrees onshore!
