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.

Interesting that the statistics showed more tornadoes for Iowa in June.
The worst statistic in the report showed the greatest numbers of deaths were last year.
Thanks for that link, Mike G...

Iowa wasn't terribly far off Kansas if we look at tornadoes to square miles ratio.
Definitely a very above average year across the board for tornadoes in Iowa.

Yeah, most of them in the south, southeast, and eastern Iowa. Here in NW Iowa, it was pretty uneventful this year. 'Cept for the Boy Scout camp event; but that was still sixty miles south of my corner. Most of this area was unaffected by the rain as most other parts of Iowa were devastated by floods. It seems that many of the same areas that flooded were also seeing the greatest amount of tornadoes.

Has there been a full study on the weather set up for the Parkersburg storm? Is that available somewhere online?

Cool, thanks for the pdf Danny!
[don't see any mention of type of supercell from a quick skim or explaining its evolution though in the "Service Assessment EF5 Tornado in Parkersburg and New Hartford, Iowa May 25, 2008" Have to see after fuller digestion of the 50 pages]
