• 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.

Another new Hotseat Scenario. (Iowa City outbreak)

Here is the newest scenario for the NWS hot seat simulator. This scenario is of the Iowa City tornado outbreak. This outbreak not only had many tornadoes but also 5+ inch hail and damaging winds over 60-65 MPH. One confirmed report says 3 tornadoes were on the ground at the same time by Muscatine. The tornado that moved through Iowa City was a Strong EF2 tornado. I started this scenario but could not finish it due to problems with java so Clark Safford helped me with it and he did a good job completing it.

Here is the link for the other scenarios. This makes 6 scenarios total and another scenario that should be finished soon.

These hot seat simulator's are educational and a lot of fun. It always makes me appreciate the meteorologists more and more who issue types of warnings bases on radar visuals. Also during real crazy severe weather days where one forecast area could be under the gun for an entire afternoon or night has to be tiresome/stressful.

Thanks, for posting these hot seat scenarios.
