• 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.

Close lightning strike

If the storm is still overhead, the same spot is 'fair game' for the next CG. I have personally witnessed multiple CGs hit in almost the exact same place several times. The most incredible of this was May 26, 2008 in (if I remember correctly) Greensburg as we started to punch through the storm that would later produce a tornado near Pratt. There were four CGs just seconds apart that hit just in front of us by about 1/2 mile, in just about the exact same spot. It was like a Van De Graaff generator sparking repeatedly, in almost perfect tempo every 2-3 seconds.

I figured. I definitely wouldn't wanna go out and test that theory. I knew that whole "lightning doesn't strike the same place" twice thing didn't provide much fact, but I didn't know if maybe that myth held some truth if it was talking about a single thunderstorm not an entire lifetime.

Thanks for the input.
