• 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.

Just caught a report that Minnesota had the most tornadoes in 2010, beating the Lone Star State 145-105. The totals are still subject to the review of the National Climate Data Center, but any changes to the numbers will probably be small.

And they say you shouldn't mess with Texas;)

Article from NWS Central Region Headquarters about the Minnesota Tornadoes of 2010.....

The numbers did change and change significantly, from a preliminary number of 145 all the way down to a final number of 104.

Texas still has a shot at eclipsing the number 104 depending on what the final numbers for Texas turn out to be. Otherwise, it will likely be Minnesota wining the tornado by state count for 2010.
 
I always like to compare the square miles of states and tornadoes.

Texas: Land Area: 261,797 square miles
Minnesota: Land Area: 79,610 square miles
Source: US Census

Texas is 3 times larger than Minnesota.
Texas is the 2nd largest state in terms of land area, only Alaska is bigger.
Everything is bigger in Texas. LOL.

Wow, thanks for pointing me to that report. I wonder how things can change so drastically?

I stand corrected. Actually, I'm sitting.
