• 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.

I was working on a GIS project on campus and decided to go home because I was going to go out and take photos of the storms around here. When I was walking in the front door I almost got ran over by Doug because he was running out the door to get on the tornado warned storm after he saw a funnel about half way to the ground south of Lawrence. Needless to say we tried to get south and east as quickly as possible but every storm weakened as we got a view of the base so we decided to call it a day after about 30 mins. of chasing. Watch out....the atmosphere is throwing curveballs at people's groins today.
 
Started out from Overland Park a bit late and paid for it dearly with a wall of traffic that kept me from getting south to Pleasanton fast enough. Turned around and headed on home. Saw some interesting structure in Miami Co. but it appeared that it was not the beefier type of supercells that were further south. Right before I left work at 5pm, had a good round of 1/2-3/4" hail in Lenexa.
 
Pretty much the same deal as Darin except we got a really low funnel that was rotating pretty slowly, but it was in fact rotating. Other than that all the storms weakened as we got to them. Driving home now on US71 near Nevada, MO.
