• 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.

Chase Case #6

If this were a real chase, my timeline would have put me in Hill City at about 20Z, with a chance to catch the storms in Nebraska as they fired up and started producing around 22Z. However, I would have probably screwed it up if I was actually there.

In real life, I sat at the Best Western in Shamrock, Texas along with a million other people and saw nothing. Go figure.
 
I actually chased this day and from the same area around North Platte, NE : http://www.stormchaserco.com/20050507.html

I'm going to say that from central NE I would have been all over the line of tornado warned storms but on the 'real' day I had to be back in Ft. Collins to meet Amanda and watch one of her triathlons that I promissed - so I left the chase early after some severe hail. :)
 
Aaargh, going to call this a bust! Got to antsy and moved north out of North Platte, when I should have stayed put and/or moved east. That's what I get for putting myself in Cherry cnty NE I suppose. I know there is likely no way I would have had a chance to reposition back in time to intercept the sups that went up as I would have been chasing from behind. Good challenging case!

Was in the game....but to far north by a few counties....radar trends would have most likely prompted me to move south....but all in all a good chase study! Thanks for putting it together!
