• 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.

Yes, I believe much of that is explained in his interview that can also be found on the NGM site link above...

It is great research that he is doing and Tim is doing a great job!
 
Thanks for all of the kind comments. It has certainly been a challenge.

That "thingie" that moves across camera 2 and 3 appears to be some sort of a corn bin. I have found similar looking things in farmer's fields. It looks like a hopper with four wheels. When I have time, I'll post a frame grab for all to look at.

I do know its moving......rather quickly.

Darren:

Indeed, one needs to know the distance to calculate the velocity of moving objects, and also knowing the lens distortion (if any) that might affect these measurements.

Now...would someone PLEASE send us a few tornadoes, and get us out of this horrible pattern?


:?

Ahh... A cornbin would make a lot of sense beings in your video the farm in the background did have what I believe were cornbins tore apart. Some of those are quite big, yet it wouldn't take to much to rip them apart. I've seen it done by only 80-90 mph winds...

As for this pattern, I would be glad to get rid of it for you Tim.. IF I could... :roll:
