• 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.

When I was chasing the Tipton tornado yesterday, I saw a few chasers that had some homemade looking cages on their car roofs in order to keep their windows from being smashed out by hail. I want to build one for my car because of my experience yesterday. I positioned myself really far from the tornado yesterday. Even though I had taken E1750 Rd right into Elmer, I didn't stay there because I was worried about being hammered. Instead I positioned myself on the west side of Tipton, and I could only see the tornado for a few minutes from that distance. That was a very frustrating experience, because I was being overprotective about the chance of being hit by baseball hail. So I want to build a hail cage for my car, and I'm wondering if any of you have done this. I have a 2007 Toyota Camry. How did you do it? How much was it? How long did it take? What materials did you use? If there's already a thread that deals with this, would someone please direct me to it?

Thanks
David
