I left toward Grand Islands just 15 min ago and I'm starting to see some nice towers in the distance.

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.

Still following the initial development that occurred along the KS/NE border to the NE towards Grand Island, NE
Heading for the storm near Grand Island like everyone else. You can make out the warm front on the OAX radar, so I am hoping this one tracks just north of east, remaining along the boundary, and goes crazy.

although i do believe something possible in and around Pampa tx area too.... but its Aurora for me

Im on 81 just south of I-80 in Fairmont and in perfect position to intercept, taking a leisurely stroll up 81 a few miles to the York area or maybe a little north...either way hopping on this supercell.
Michael O'Keeffe
Have intercepted the beautiful supercell near Grand Island! WOOOO

Move from Hebron to the north (York area) to intercept this supercell near Grand Island.. Pretty confident I will celebrate a tornado with a steak after the chase.

Checked data in Lanham, NE...liked what I saw and made a beeline for Knox, NE just off I-80...will check radar trends when I arrive and refine my final target location....but my initial thoughts are around the Kearney, NE area.

Well, I seem to be a little too far south so I'm going to head north out of Phillipsburg, KS towards Alma, NE then east to Red Cloud, NE and finally north towards Hastings. If anything goes up directly to my northwest on the way I'll stop to take a look.
Shelli Valdivia
Heading north on 81. Hopefully make it to York in time to intercept that supercell!

Phew am I glad I've moved north through the afternoon! I am loving what I'm seeing! Left Hastings and am set to intercept the cell near Grand Island.

Per plan I ditched the Phillipsburg cell that never took off and arrived 23Z at Wood River -- about 20 miles southwest of Grand Island. BTW, I targeted Wood River over Grand Island for the NE11 north highway option that avoids going through the city.
Lo and behold (for once!) I just had time to gas up, clean bugs off the window, etc., etc., when the cell-of-the-day blows up a few miles to my northwest. At 00Z I'm at the nexus of an intensifying virtual chaser convergence trying to negotiate a view into this HPish beast without getting pummeled.

Shouldn't have strayed east from US-81 it looks like! Flying out of Fairbury towards York, where I should arrive by 0130 UTC - hopefully just as the GRI cell is rolling in.

Headed from Belleville, KS to York, NE where I hope to intercept the Grand Island supercell.

After looking the Final update...
Well, like everyone else that was in the Hebron area, I'm headed for the US81-I-80 area. It's about a 50 mile drive so hopefully I can make it in time for any tornadoes.
