This day was a moderate outbreak across the southern and central plains, made famous by a tornado that paid a visit to a turn pike and the golden arches.

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.
Hinting game: weather!

This tornado passed just south of a town with the same name as an actor that portrayed someone who loved Judge Wapner and K-Mart....

Glad to hear that, because all I could think was Van Wert, Ohio. All the clues fit perfectly, and I was going nuts trying to find another answer that qualified. Whew! I'm at peace.

Aw weak, the answer was given away before someone guessed it

Sorry man... Was beginning to think it was such a small outbreak that it was going to take a while before someone got it.... Didn't want to hold up the game....

Guess the date:
- An outbreak of tornadoes on the western and high plains.
- Had an unusual northwest moving large tornado.
- Virtually no chasers saw the Colorado tornado(es), but many saw tornadoes further east.
- The 13z outlook was MDT.
