• 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.

May 5th Eastern Storm.

Last Friday, a severe thunderstorm had been spotted by the NWS early in the morning around 12-1 a.m. This storm was later reported to be a tornadic thunderstorm, and produced it's first tornado around 2:30-3 a.m in SC. This storm continued to produce tornadoes as it moved further up North. At 8:10 a.m, the storm hit Virginia Beach, VA. Due to this storm, all school buses were told to stop at the nearest school and take shelter. This alert happened at 9 a.m and ended around 9:10 a.m. All schools were then continued to it's daily schedule. More tornadoes had been reported around the area, causing Virginia Beach to remain under a Tornado Watch. Later that day, the storm moved continued moving North and soon Northeast into the Atlantic Ocean. There had been reported injuries and no deaths.

Information was provided by the National Weather Service of Wakefield, Virginia and WAVY 10 NEWS.

I'm a little unclear - this single thunderstorm developed at midnight and went continually through 9am? That seems pretty long especially by east coast standards.

My friend had told me that the storm was formed around 12 a.m, so I put down what I was told. If I am wrong, then I will go over the information and correct it.
