• 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.

First severe storm [depending whether you count .88 hail though, which dropped earlier in N. FL--Freeport) of the day is tornado-warned:

--
AT 515 PM EDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED
A TORNADO NORTH OF AUBURNDALE. NEARLY STATIONARY.

* THE TORNADO WILL BE NEAR...
AUBURNDALE.
LAKE ALFRED.
--
That's about 70 miles to my west, it would be dead no doubt by the time I got out there. Hope someone gets some pics, assuming there is something to see.

*already the last scan looks like structure is moving to a split, more linear, and cloud top diminished.

**already cancelled, so it goes.. . but sea breeze collision coming, so might have some other storms of interest. Hail reported of 1 inch near Talahassee and storm remains warned there, but nothing too impressive.
