• 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.

Imelda is a bit of a sleeper storm that might bring bigger impacts to the US than anything so far this season. Models are in general agreement of rainfall estimates of 15-20 inches around the Houston metro, with officials prepping for water rescues. Model forecast soundings are showing pwats as high as 2.8".

The post-landfall tornado threat with this system is questionable, with no models yet showing much of a dry slot working into Imelda's remnants before it shears apart over north Texas. Still something to keep an eye on in the next few days.

They cancelled all of our schools and classes tomorrow. (Galveston) All the kids get a "rain day". Of course, they always plan a few "hurricane days" into the school semester. I have measured about three inches of rain since this morning. No problems here unless we get it all at once. Houston doesn't take much to flood in the "bowl". My city has huge corkscrew pumps that keep the streams low and expel water into Galveston bay.

They cancelled all of our schools and classes again....tomorrow (Thursday).

"School Cancelled for Thursday: All of the meteorology experts are saying that the worst is yet to come and there could be life-threatening flooding in the morning. Because of the uncertainty, we are not willing to risk the safety of our students and staff and will cancel school on Sept. 19, 2019 "
