• 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.

High winds / Blowing dust in OK/TX

I got the thrill of driving home in that stuff... below is a link to the video I shot in what turned out to be the longest trip from AMA to DEN I've ever had thanks to these winds...

It was amazing in some areas where vegitation from the field was being blown across the highway. Very odd to drive in! I stopped in Dumas, Texas and shot for a bit over lunch as well.
 
Got to watch the Oklahoma City landscape rearrange itself from the window at work Saturday. Would guess at times visibility was between 1/2-1/4 mile...couldn't hardly see across the street to Walmart a couple of times. It was still a bit on the windy side when I got home...there were a few ~40mph (per mesonet data) gusts that rattled my windows nicely.
Tony, very cool shots! The tumbleweed crop may be impressive this year:) .
