For me it was being chased, not chasing! I was just curious to all the others out there what your most memorable chase was. Also, how many f-5s have any of you chased?

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.
Most memorable chase?

Mine would definitely have to be May 29, 2004... so many tornadoes of different strengths and shapes...it was amazing! :shock: at one point i remember two cone tornadoes on the ground at the same time, and one of the tornadoes had a satellite for about 30 secs...so in a way, 3 tornadoes simultaneously! ill never forget that chase, nor the April 5, 2003 "ice chest" supercell that rolled through Throckmorton County.

Just one:
This is the only "official" F5 I've ever seen, but this isn't my most-memorable chase. That's probably a tie between 5-29-04, 6-12-04, and 5-12-05.

Right now, it's a 4-way tie for me between:

Without any hesitation, October 9 2001 hands down. Regardless of what I have seen and experienced in 2004 and 2005, October 9 2001 will live in my mind as being a very special chase for me.
Many reasons for the 9th being most memorable.
1.)It was my first tornado on film.
2.)Not many got the Elk City / Foss Lake tornadoes.
3.)I was close enough to get wonderful video while at the same time being in a safe place while videoing.
4.)No screw-ups. (No second guessing my target/forecast)
5.)Lastly, but not the least, the damn thing was in Oklahoma.
