• 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.

On Saturday afternoon, a cold front came through my neighborhood bearing nothing but a wind shift. By miracle it turned stationary on a roughly Greenville to southern Dallas County Texas line. Around sunset a line of storms exploded just ahead of the front, prompting me to give chase from northern Dallas County towards Greenville then south towards Terrell Texas.

During this chase I encountered pounding rains, hail up to nickel sized, brilliant lightning and magnificent thunderheads. As evening progressed, lightning intensified into continuous discharges, providing a breath taking display and wonderful photography opportunities.

All told it was a 90 mile chase and very soul nourishing. Attached is a photo of one of the bolts; full story and more photos will be found on www.joyfulstormhunting.com, "Storm Chase Blog" button.

I was in San Antonio at my son's soccer game Saturday late afternoon and could see some fairly nice cloud structure on the eastern horizon. Glad you had a good time in your backyard. I'm getting anxious to do something or go somewhere ... haven't looked closely at the 11/10 setup yet but may run up there but I have a feeling I won't if it turns out to be a primarily dark-thirty/nighttime event
