Well, I actually think it might be a good idea to have one state completely free of storm chasing--and Kansas seems like a good choice...so I think i'll contact the Kansas legislature and propose a ban--jokes on you!
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.

The Wichita Eagle is reporting that a Kansas state senator is trying to get a bill through the both houses that effectively bans storm chasing in Kansas! I never thought such a law would ever pass or be enforceable, but the plan is very well detailed. If enforced to its full extent, it would make it damn near impossible to get away with chasing in Kansas.
See the article here (includes a link to the bill text): http://www.kansas.com/news/politics-government/state-supreme-court/article16705595.html.
Please discuss!
IMHO...the day any state bans storm chasing, is the day people's lives are put at serious risk.
I have little doubt that someday there will be a serious attempt at doing just this...and when it happens, we will have no one to blame but ourselves. Some of the stunts I've seen out there are just begging for a law. We need some serious self policing. But in other news....good joke!
