A student is looking for help on tropical cyclone prediction. Please fill out the survey linked to this thread: https://stormtrack.org/threads/storm-and-hurricane-intensity-prediction-survey.32957

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.

There was a 2.8 aftershock (prelim. info) a few minutes before 1pm. Didn't feel this one as I did the first, didn't hear anything either, but I was inside. Still cleaning up the rubble from the massive quake last week.

Continued shaking in Oklahoma has my eyeballs popping out. These tremors are happening in many different locations. Yes Oklahoma has earthquakes but these are small and happening in different spots of large areas. The seismic activity is growing too in frequency. For the longest time the only semi-frequent activity in the region was over by the New Madrid fault but over the last few months activity has gone through the roof. Very interesting to watch. Really activity has increased alot over the last 10 years worldwide. Not sure if thats due to better equipment or technology or mans understanding of seismic activity but the numbers dont lie. What strikes me is so much activity in a seismicly dormant area. Just makes me wonder with all this movement if stress isnt building somewhere that could lead to a major "slip". +5.0 or greater could have serious impacts on infrastructure here in the plains.
Here's a link that will visually aid my concerns on activity to my neighboring state to the south.

I felt the quake this morning; a sudden jolt. Interesting, I've lived in Oklahoma for over 10 years and never, knowingly, felt an earthquake here until the one in October and, now, this one only a few months later. The area around Jones, OK seems to be relatively active with a large number of small earthquakes.

That's what that was? I was talking to a guy at Othello's in Norman about the quake a few months ago last night, quite a coincidence. It was also incredibly foggy this morning.
