• 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.

This is a prologue:
Well, yesterday, I had a very strong rainfall. Rainfall intensity was at least an inch per hour. Rainfall total was 0,54 inches. And rainfall lasted about 40 minutes, strongest rain about quarter of an hour. I haven't seen such a rainfall for ages. In an area, where I can usually film it, I had to retreat from the rain several times, as it approached me and my camera several times. Unfortunately this wasn't all good - it hit at a time when we were harvesting hay so at least a part of the harvest was ruined, apparently father had missed a weather forecast about rain...

Note: Visibility was cropped down to 150-200 meters(500-650 ft)

These are a questions for hurricane chasers:
How are you able to withstand heavy rainfall associated with a tropical cyclones?
