• 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.

Pretty interesting article. Cool stuff those guys are doing.
(I was able to read without a subscription or anything)
 
Dr. Ted Fujita knew about these vorticies in hurricanes long ago. Science however moves slow like representative government, which is usually an advantage. Fujita knew before Andrew. However science requires gathering repeated formal evidence. Like with the Microburst, Dr. Fujita is being proved right again. Microbursts went from laughs, to Wind Shear Warning System at every airport!

Another strategy is the WaPo summarizes their articles on Twitter. Ditto NYT and WSJ. I save my free WaPo articles for weather. Thankfully work has the WSJ. Forbes has some good science, more free.

I posted my North Alabama chase account in the Tropical section rather than Target Area. Tough call there, but not starting a new thread breaks the tie every time, lol!
 
Staff note
Enough. We are tired of hearing users bitch about various media sources, The Washington Post likely being the most commonly demonized, who require payment access to view content. This is how media survives. If you don't want to pay to see their content then assume you will not be able to view the content. Complaining about it derails the thread and is just plain silly. Such discussion is considered off-topic in threads that are not specifically about financial aspects of media companies and will be deleted.
