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.
Fall..... otherwise known as 2nd season!

TornadoHQ says that there is a large tornado about 9 miles northeast of Pampa, Texas (or there was about 10 minutes ago)
I couldn't get out to chase today, but it looked pretty intense. I got to play recliner jockey and watch a couple of tornados on TVN Weather. Thanks to everyone who live streams their video. I know it takes away from your enjoyment, but is invaluable to those of us who can't be on the storm. Thank you

There were 2 supercells in that area, one following another. Both tornadoes passed a couple miles south of pampa but not without doing a good deal of damage.

Yeah, I heard that there was a gas leak and chemical spill. I really hope no one was killed...There were 2 supercells in that area, one following another. Both tornadoes passed a couple miles south of pampa but not without doing a good deal of damage.
Also, did anyone else notice how similar yesterday's Pampa tornado looked to the 4/14/2012 Lyons-Salina tornado?

Now that you mention it, it did a little bit.

Is the Pampa tornado's EF3 rating preliminary or final?

I believe it's a preliminary rating.

Any thoughts on today's Clarksdale, MS tornado? Apparently one person is in critical condition, but no reported deaths so far.

Damage reports and descriptors are coming in...several fatalities unfortunately
The Clarksdale-Holly Springs tornado was an absolute monster. It had a 100+ mile path, was nearly a mile wide at times and was on the ground for over 2 hours.

Looks like another enhanced risk for today in SW Texas. Only a 5% tornado probability, however, from central Texas into SE Oklahoma.
