That's not true, Jay... Actually, if it's private property, the farmer can do whatever he pleases.
I'm pretty sure you can't plow over a road and claim it to be "private property," which is the scenario Jay was talking about.
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.

Would you be upset if you walked out of your house and found 20 strange cars parked on your back yard?

Problem is, we all know mapping programs such as DeLorme and Streets & Trips have inherent issues with showing roads that don't actually exist.
I am glad no body was hurt. However, driving through a muddy farm field to try to escape a potentially deadly tornado situation is the last course of action I would have taken.

Who turns into a field, to avoid a tornado, anyway? I don't get it. My first instinct would be to turn around and go back the way I came. Why wasn't this an option?

It's hard to say, Robert, if indeed, this is really private property, but if it is, then that means the farmer bought this land. Which, in turn, means, it's his land and he can do whatever he wants to it. He can plow over the entire length of that road, if it falls on his property...
Regressing, whether the road was plowed over is irrelevant to this situation anyway, so really, I have no idea why we're arguing about it.
My main point is, it's not the farmer's fault these guys made a poor decision.
