• 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.

Hi all
I'm just posting these two images to find if anyone of you did see this structure on the border between Colorado and Kansas, not far from I 70. I saw other chasers that night.
We observed a cute squall line with nice structure before the sunset and we ended the chase looking for a damned motel, even if we didn't find anything because of a million of chasers who rent all the room because of the outbreak of may 22th. While phoning I was called by a friend who told me that there was a strange cloud not so far away from us; I looked at that and I saw a clear base with a dark lowering basically at the ground. I picked up my tripod with MLL3 and I took this long esposition while phoning :-D (kidding)
I didn't see any tornado warning on the radar but it just had the visual aspect of a circular base with a large lowering or whynot, even a tornado.
Did anyone see it? What do you guys think?

(The first shot is the shelf cloud of the squall and the second one I think is the tail end charlie that approached our position about 1 hour later)

We were there Andrea, we saw basically the same thing. We observed what appeared to be a tornado a few miles west of the 385... I can remember radar showing some shear but no well defined couplet... Didn't hear of any damage report...
