• 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.

You’re welcome to ride along with Nick Palisch as he chases storms.

Just know that no one comes back for seconds.

There was that time in April 2011, for example, when the now-director of student and alumni services for the University of Missouri–St. Louis College of Optometry realized conditions were favorable for good weather – tornado weather. After work, he gathered up some interested friends, and they headed out on Interstate 70.

“We could see the wall clouds starting to form,” he recalled. “I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, it’s really going to happen.’”

They caught the tornado, an EF4, before St. Louis Lambert International Airport, where it went on to rip through Terminal C as well as the Missouri cities of Bridgeton, Maryland Heights and Berkeley before dissipating in Illinois. It was the strongest and most devastating St. Louis-area tornado since 1967.
