• 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.

Friday fun: where will Ivan make landfall?

I'm choosing Mississippi and Alabama, Florida. Between Panacea and Keaton Beach, Florida as a category 3 late Tuesday to early Wednesday.

Assuming no unusual last-second changes in Ivan's landfall, it looks like Jeff has earned the 120-hour hurricane forecast prize. Jeff's landfall location was only 25 miles off. Please E-mail me with your address and the book you want.

Honorable mention to Greg Campbell who predicted Pascagoula Mississippi (50 mile error) and to Jeremy Lemanski who predicted Pensacola-Fort Walton (55 mile error at the halfpoint).

Hopefully I considered all the votes (at least those that predicted a specific town) -- if I missed one, please let me know. This thread is now unlocked.

Yea, but Jerremy and I were closer in the strength-at-landfall aspect. :cwm10:
Besides, it's not yet ashore, and I see a new eyewall forming to the west!!! ;) :P

Naw...Congrats, Jeff! :toothy8: :toothy8: :toothy8:
I was looking good up until this afternoon, when the storm finally started moving back to the East.

I know! Mine was right until Ivan finally listened to the NHC and decided to turn N. Aw, shucks . . . I didn't think they listened. :roll: Bravo, Jeff!
 
Can you double check? Are you sure it didn't hit Naples? Maybe there was a mixup with the radars or something.

stupid Naples forecast, what was I thinking
 
Jeff Wear, wow! :shock: Only off by 25 miles. Go work at NHC, and teach them your masterful forecasting. So, do hurricanes produce tornadoes like the one in your avatar? :lol: :lol:
