• 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.

Identify the tornado — part II

Looks like McConnel AFB to me. I think the Andover KS tor went by there first. Can't think of the date right now.
 
I have to say Andover, Kansas too. Not too many tornados marched right down the flightline like that, those could be B-1's and the brick construction is similar to other video I have seen.

Of course that funnel is pure Andover as it went through the airforce base, before it went maxi.
 
Ok I'll take a stab at this: Wichita Falls TX F4 tornado, april 10 1979 550pm?

No, not that one — but right decade, and right F-scale rating.
 
Also, dagnab it, I've seen that third photo before, complete with all the flow arrows--I just can't remember where. Is it by any chance the 1987 Edmonton, Alberta tornado? Damage rating F4?
 
Wow! Can't believe I got it!

Actually, it was a highly educated guess. Not many tornadoes in recent history have hit or passed close to an Air Force Base. I remember reading that the Andover tor passed by or through McConnell AFB. I'm aware of McConnell because I was born in Wichita and still have relatives there. I think about them whenever I learn of a tor passing close to where they live.

I'll defer on posting for now.
