• 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.

Started the day off close to home in Omaha NE, around 12 noon a thunderstorm had popped up and was looking like it was going to develop further but lets just say i ate my own words there, a little rain fell from it before it shriveled up to nothing. I then headed west on Hwy 275 to Hwy 77 North. I got up into the Hull IA area, at this time this one thunderstorm was producing hail from golfball, to quarter and nickel sized hail in Den IA and Rock Falls. I stayed out of the core mainly because i didn't want to hail the car out, what was nice is how this storm was moving very slowly east at 5-10mph then later on it moved ENE at 20mph. It weakened and i called it quits, overall better to chase on a sunday then be lazy right ;-) ( These are all panoramas, sorry for the one with the telephone wires there i always do that eghh!

Tyler Costantini and I chased SW Missouri today. We intercepted the storm that came out of Bourbon County and prompted the tornado warning for Barton County, Missouri. We did see rotation within it, also saw a funnel cloud northwest of Carthage. This picture was taken right off 160 roughly 3-4 miles east of Highway 43 between Mindenmines and Lamar looking northwest at the area of rotation.

Some lightning shots from Wichita early in the morning on the 10th. Funny thing is, wasn't chasing just hanging out at my dad's while visiting the fam; further, I was completely smashed while taking the pics :). The one of the lightning in the corner I'll offer up as a desktop background--it's my desktop background and is way cool (just don't sell it or I'll get mad :D:mad::D). If you want that one, email me and I'll send you the original
