• 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.

Hi all, it's months that I'm looking for some pictures of Greensburg tornado but I really didn't find any close images of that monster.

I exhort all of you that chased that tornadic supercell to post some images of the tornado,to compare each other, so that this thread could become as a collection of the Greensburg tornado pics.

Thanks to all for your involvement

i wasnt real close, but that tornado was so big, if i had gotten any closer, you wouldnt have been able to see it.
 
I've received an email from a couple who is putting together a non-profit book, and are requesting photos of it, for the cover and for the content.

We are publishing a book of tornado experiences as a non-profit thank-you to all the workers who helped the people of Greensburg with rescue, survival, clean-up, and re-building.

They also would like to interview anyone on the damage survey team. If anyone is interested in donating a photo (s) (Video captures will work too), or sharing their knowledge, send me a pm or email me @ [email protected] and I will send you their email to get in contact with them.
 
Greensburg Pics

I grabbed a bunch of pictures of damage to Greensburg while volunteering in May and June: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonperson/sets. (Under the "Volunteering In Greensburg" set) Habitat for Humanity is supposed to have projects in line for G'Burg; it would be a great opportunity for chasers to help them recover. Whew.. they need all the help they can get.

Thanks to all who gave their photos/stories to Eric and Fern Unruh. I received 2 copies of the book today and am just now glancing at it. Andy Fischer's photo is on the front cover and Mark Humpage is on the back cover!! Joel Genung and Steve Bluford's are inside the book too.

The book is entitled, "Tornado! Up From The Debris...To Thank God." I'm not sure if its' for sale or not, but it's over 150 pages of personal accounts from that night, and was published to honor of all of the rescue workers and volunteers who helped aid in the cleanup and search and rescue efforts.

Dick,

I'll be looking for the book around on the internet myself, but if you are able to find a place where I can order or request the book, I'd appreciate it. I would definitely like to get a copy of that book.

Thanks in advance!

Andrew
