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.

Preliminary report of 50 :shock: tornadoes today from SPC across the mid-atlantic states. :shock: Pretty good outbreak, huh?
How often do hurricane remnants cause this many long-tracked supercells?

My god, there are so many red tornado markers on that page it looks like someone bled on it. Incrediable day!

NWSFO LWX has rated four of the D.C. area tornadoes as of late afternoon on Saturday. These included an F3, two F2s and an F0; one of the F2s almost had a direct hit on the Forecast office (which I believe is at Dulles Int'l) itself: :shock:

The remnants of Hurricane Opal produced tornado damage about 2 miles south of the World Weather Building (where NCEP is located) shortly after dark a few years ago. An NCEP secretary lived just one block from the damage path and was interviewed on TV. I started calling her "tornado bait". :wink:
It will be interesting to compare the inland effects of Opal and Ivan.
