We all could have guessed it after this year ...
Kansas again is tops in the U.S. for tornadoes.

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.
Go Kansas!

No kidding about 2008, Go Kansas!
First, KU (University of Kansas) winning the BCS Orange Bowl.
Next, KU winning the Men's Basketball National Championship.
Now, taking the top spot for the number of US tornadoes...
Hopefully in 2009, there won't be nearly as many hormonal, pms-y HP storms with super fast storm motions as last year. Granted, parts of Kansas are accustomed to that but I wouldn't have expected so many on the western side of the state.

Amen!
We need some good clear storm bases this year ... I would give just about anything for a couple of easily chaseable classics somewhere this year. Seems like it's been forever.

You mean the state to drive through to get somewhere else?

Nah, that's Missouri ... Kansas is the state you drive through when you want to see a tornado.

Now now, there's a difference between being on a tornadic storm and being able to see the tornado. Of course, those were hard everywhere in 2008!

The dissing on Kansas, it burns! *Shakes fist in air* I will not tolerate such language. Besides, that honor belongs to Mizzurah with Wisconsin being a close second. ;PYou mean the state to drive through to get somewhere else?
Boy, ain't that the truth. It does seem like it's been quite a while since there was a classic, photogenic setup. I'm hoping this year will bring some dryline magic across the TX panhandle although I am concerned since it's been terribly dry out there. Even though I no longer live in NE Kansas, I certainly can sympathize how several severe weather events in that area give the HP-variety of storms. It always seemed like the storms were taunting me, "Want to see what behind the rain curtain? Come on, I dare ya..." I absolutely love experiencing and analyzing all types of weather as each experience is an adventure, but I won't shed any tears if I don't encounter any HP storms this year, lol.Mike Peregrine said:
Speaking of last year's season, does anyone have any idea why we had so many of the HP variety, especially in areas where you would typically not see storms in HP mode?

Great Commercials

If I were a cow...I'd be happy in Kansas though...no tornadoes in Cali.

As long as it's winter and it's frozen, it's all good. ;PNot unless you're planning on driving into a very large lake
Besides, maybe I wanted to travel to Canada and Wisconsin is the only route for me to go. Umm yeeaaah, let's go with that!

Ahhhh! Would be nice if I could finish a semi-coherent thought while watching the Steelers/Ravens game. Change "Canada" to "Minnesota." I had a thought in there about traveling through Wisconsin to get to Minnesota and eventually Canada but obviously it didn't quite pan out that way, haha. Ah, well. [/off topic randomness].
Looking at the tornado stats between Kansas (187 tornadoes) and Texas (116 tornadoes), that a pretty significant difference between the two states considering the square mileage is much larger in the Lone Star State.
