• 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.

Hi Stormtrack folks,

It only took me about six months, but I have posted all of my chase accounts and images from 2009 on my personal web site page. This link takes you to a summary page:

http://stormbruiser.com/chase/2010/01/14/2...season-summary/

This large entry showcases some of my better images from chase 2009, and you can click on the date/event to see the individual entry for a particular chase. You will have to scroll down quite a ways to get to some of the better chases during June.

If you are interested, I did some local desert-scenery chasing in December, and the links to those images are here:

As the tour director for Tempest Tours, with some 50-60 potential chase days while on the Plains, it was a somewhat strange year in that I did no chasing at all in NM, ND, MN or IA, and I chased no where near the Mississippi River. (Of course, my bias towards the higher terrain is a large factor in this regard, but we try to be on the best storm in or near Tornado Alley each chase day.) TX and OK ruled from late April through May, and June was ruled by chases in KS, CO, NE and SD.

Thanks for taking a look!
