• 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.

On our return trip from Illinois, we encountered impressive flash flooding in Corydon, Indiana (near I-64 about 30 miles west of Louisville, Kentucky). Indian Creek was out of its banks and flooding many of the town's streets. The water was very swift and turbulent, and was roaring in many spots. The flood was threatening a railroad bridge in town, with water lapping at the bottom of the girders while large logs and pieces of debris jammed up against the supports. According to the locals, we arrived just after the crest of the flood earlier in the afternoon, the water only dropping about a foot from crest before we got there.

One of the most impressive sights in the floodwaters were the swells and reverse-breaking waves that dramatically rose and fell just downstream from spots where the water flowed over a large object. This display was the most impressive at the site of a small low-head dam north of town near I-64. A continuous area of huge breakers was followed by a large area of roaring water. There was a lot of power in that water, and was the kind of sight that makes me never want to be caught in a flash flood!
