• 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!

Yeah! You get a cookie and the next challenge for us!

That day is one to remember for me. It passed very close to my hometown of Neosho and destroyed my aunt's house. It also killed a guy that was on his way to sing at a friend's wedding. Very sad day around those parts. The damage in Missouri was incredible. If I remember right the "highest risk" areas were well south and east of this storm.

It was the deadliest Oklahoma tornado since May 3, 1999.
 
Bart (and others), thanks for helping out. Seneca was ravaged by that storm and received very little attention even though more died there. Very sad day in the area.

Back on topic...let's go Bart, give us the next one!
 
Alright this may or may not prove to be a tricky one. I will give you 5 facts about the tornado. Hopefully by giving so many hints I will make it so you can still guess it with out giving it away.

  1. This tornado occurred during a historic outbreak that took place sometime in the past 20 years.
  2. Devastated parts of a small town on Route 66
  3. This tornado was given a rating of F3.
  4. Part of the destroyed properties by the tornado was never rebuilt and was briefly used by the SCCA as a track for "Solo" competition.
  5. The tornado was spawned by "Cell D."

Good luck!
 
-northern U.S.
-small outbreak of five tornadoes
-one was rated F3
-struck a town which had malfunctioning sirens
-destroyed a new hockey arena
-2 fatalities

6/18/01 Siren Wisconsin. Guess if your town is siren you should have working sirens. Siren clue gave that away.
 
alright here goes. this will probably be an easy one as well but it is one I will never forget

One of March's most violent outbreaks
F5 hit a town
F4 furthur north was on ground for over 125 miles
Outbreak stretched from Texas to Iowa
 
yep you are correct. the long track f4 in nebraska was within 4 miles of my home. sucked that I was too young to have drivers license. guess I could have on my bike.
 
Here is my attempt:

It was a single state outbreak.
Low shear and extreme instability.
The outbreak produced several strong and two violent tornadoes.
Gravity waves are believed to have played a major role in this outbreak.
Storm motion was SSW.
