• 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.

Chasing locations that are "due" for some increased activity?

Interesting thread. I would add South-Central Ks included Harper County and other close counties. I would have expected something more after 2004 chasing year. But I'm pretty convinced that soon or later it will come back to the scene.

To me it seems that might be the least due area on the planet. Greensburg 07 close enough to there. And those others near Nickerson that April day and that other day somewhere else right there...the e-w highway full of tornadoes. Then there is June 7 2002 I think it was. 2004 activity alone should be good for a good while lol. Compared to other areas, sc KS is anything but due imo. Of course maybe they *should* expect more than other areas to begin with since they are so much in the heart of the action.

Agreed, that area of Kansas seems to get hit more than any other area. It also seems those counties are the first counties in Kansas to have a tornado in it each year. By the way the county I live in, Butler County Kansas, isn't due for any action as it had the most tornadoes of any county in Kansas last year.

Actually, I have this opinion because in my thinking I presupposed that south central Ks (Harper, Sumner,Kingman, Sedwick counties) big tornadoes setup descends from a different kind of synoptic setup in comparison with SW Ks. I just wanted to say that it is some time I don't see a big triple point in the zones I mentioned before. I mean I see Greenburg more like a SW Ks tornado than a South central one.
 
Say... locations that've been "slow" the past half decade.

Big one that sticks out to me is the NW Iowa/E SD/SW Minnesota area. Good terrain but for the Missouri River... but nothing significant, it seems, for a while now.

On the other side of things... Missouri gets way more than its fair share of action, anymore, it seems.

Where would you enjoy seeing some increased activity?

I'm definately hoping for that area because that's the only place I can chase during the week, and it has been pretty slow up here the past few years.
