• 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.

Chased around the Denver area today as a convergence zone set up east of town which fired a few storms. Outflow from those storms pushed the boundry into Denver and then fired off another round of storms which stirred up a landspout which I saw enroute to the storm, then minor flooding rains over Denver.

The spout I viewed as I was eastbound on I-76 at roughly about Wadsworth looking northeast. I didn't recognize it as a spout given the bad contrast from my view looking at the storm, but Dann Cianca's video showed it well to prove it was indeed a spout. He was looking northwest at it with no rain behind the spout from his view. Michael Carlson also saw it, so between the three of us, we nabbed a small spout today.

The real show for me was the heavy rains and street flooding in Westminster as I documented during the ladder half of the storm. Over an inch of rain fell in Denver in a short amount of time leading to ponding of roadways.
