• 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.

EF Scale for your iDevice!

I just wanted to let everyone know that if you've ever used EF kit on your computer there is now a comparable app for your iDevice.

If you've never used EF kit the basis of the app is that it describes the Damage Indicators and Degrees of Damage used in the EF Scale for easy reference.

You can get it at: http://www.weatherwary.com/g/efscalest/

Meh, that sounds boring!
When I read the thread title, I immediately envisioned a durable kevlar beach ball thingy (possibly filled with helium) you could place your ipod in. Once released in the path of the tornado, the ipod would then transmit GPS derived speed back to another ipod or smartphone.

You know, that doesnt sound like too bad of an idea!
 
No problem at all - great resource! Looking forward to putting it to use (now if you could just develop an app that would tell EF scale based on the look of the tornado :) )
