• 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.

It's not the hurricane you have to worry about

Ya know, some friends of mine used to absolutely adore Jamaica. They went there for vacation 4 or 5 years in a row. They even got vanity plates that said "IRIE", which has something to do with Jamaica.

Then, a couple years ago, they just stopped going. I asked them why, and the answer they gave was...... cryptic. Hmmmm.
 
Being in another nation and being a victim is bad. Trusting the police in many nations is not any better. After talking with friends who deployed to New Orleans for Katrina both as law enforcement and military I am convinced you need to be prepared for self defense.

I am sure the rate of firearm carrying suspects is much higher in a large U.S. city and is something anyone going into an area that will have a major disaster should consider. When people who have deployed to Iraq and Afganistan say it was dangerous patrolling in NO there is no question we have to think about our safety. Glad it was not worse for you...not going into the park was a wise decision.
 
George, I'm so sorry this happened to ya'll, but am very thankful you are okay. That's was deciding factor of why I decided not to chase Dean either in the Yucatan or near Tuxpan (as badly as I wanted too); concerns about my safely from possible chaos occurring after the storm (looting/ rioting/ social unrest, etc).
