and it gone. :?

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.

Well...I dunno if this really counts since the high risk only lasted one outlook.
BUSTIMUS MAXIMUS!
However, that didn't prevent somebody from being killed by being in the wrong place at the wrong time when straight-line winds blew over a tree in Jackson, Mississippi.
*** 1 FATAL *** TREE BLOWN OVER ON MAPLE STREET IN NORTHWEST JACKSON. THE TREE LANDED ON A MAN. (JAN)

I think it would be a good idea to add this to the high risk section as a bust event.

You bet. :wink: Later this week I'm planning a major update for it since I found a whole bunch of convective outlooks and PSWOs from the mid-1990s, including several for days that I had missed entirely.
August 27, 1994, for one: http://sphs.angeltowns.net/spcproductarchi...082794otlk.html
THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVR PTNS OF MN..SERN SD..NRN IA..MUCH OF WI..AND UPPER MI.
Looked up that day in John Hart's database...seems there were 12 tornadoes across Wisconsin including 2 F3s, and 4 fatalities. Odd that I can't find any write-ups or information about that day in any of the WFO's event summaries sections. :?
Also got the outlook from the Palm Sunday outbreak earlier that year.

I believe one of those F3's passed just a few miles south of my house, through Foster, WI. Its one of the events that first got me interested in severe weather. Unfortunately it caused at least 2 of those fatalities.
Sorry for going off topic.
