• 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.

Hurricanes

I may have found a new found friend down here with a love for hurricanes. He is one of the other cab drivers in the company I am working for and we got on the subject.

He was on Hatteras for Floyd to go surfing on the waves of the approaching storm.

I gave him a very difficult time for not having video taping of the event due to his story he told me of the crashing waves upon the dunes.

He also told me that Fran and Bertha really had a drastic effect on the town I live in. He said that Jacksonville was out of power for almost two weeks and that the mess was terrible.

But he may know someone on the outer banks willing to allow for people to come out there before the onset of the closing of the islands. I'm going to try to find out more on that one.
 
Good post. I been armchair chasing hurricanes since I was nine years old. I lived in Georgia for a long time and got the after effects of hurricanes. Just watch out for right front eye wall area, can be nasty there.
