• 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.

Listening to a live feed of RTV6 in Indianapolis and they are talking to a storm chaser now who is NE of Indianapolis along the Hamilton County / Tipton County Line. A tornado is on the ground and has been on the ground for at least 5 - 10 minutes. There have already been tornado reports today to the west in Hamilton and Boone Counties.

0729 PM TORNADO 3 E ARCADIA 40.17N 85.96W
04/11/2007 HAMILTON IN AMATEUR RADIO

266TH ST AND SR 213

According to the chaser on RTV6 and radar imagery, it appears that the rotation has weakened and the tornado has lifted and/or now rain wrapped. However, there is still some weak rotation in the upper levels of the storm. I think the storm will continue to weaken though as the individual cell that was producing the tornado has been swallowed up in the main line of storms behind it.

80 MPH winds were reported to the SW of Elwood, as the tornadic cell moved towards the city. There are some reports of some minor damage to structures throughout the path of this storm.
