• 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.

2011-06-20 REPORTS: IA/NE/KS/OK/TX

Apparently I forgot to post over here.

Chased with JR Hehnly this day, and stayed the previous night in York, NE. Didn't move far all day and eventually captured 2 amazing and incredible tornadoes within 15 miles of where we woke up. A career chase kind of day, and my second overall favorite chase day.

This is long overdue... I've (finally) converted and made available tornado/storm chasing videos from years past and posted them on the Videos page on my website at www.springwx.com. There are several videos available for viewing...and I'm adding more as I find archived storm chase videos in my collection.

The video available for this date is titled York, NE Tornadoes:
On June 20, 2011, we chased in east-central Nebraska. We sat 15 miles north of York, NE watching the quarter-mile wide tornado approach us from the south. Unfortunately, for the 20 minutes we sat and watched the tornado, the videocamera was not recording. We captured only a few seconds of the first tornado, but did manage to capture several pictures of the tornado as it pushed toward us. These pictures can be seen on the Photos page at www.springwx.com. The first tornado dissipated on the road where we sat. A second (half-mile wide) tornado developed where the first one left off. We caught up with it...and taped it until it roped out. Fun chase!
