• 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.

Good day all,

I was not sure where to post this, so MODS can move it if they need to.

NASCAR is in full-swing this week (from October 3rd onward) and anyone considering a storm chase trip may be affected by it.

Motels and hotels, especially in places like Kansas City, Omaha, and Oklahoma City are literally tripled for their rates (very much like how they are during spring break down south).

Car rentals, if you can find one, will also be VERY expensive. Flights too.

Just a warning and something to consider in case the fall season kicks it up a notch. I was chasing last week, and a car rental at Kansas City was $280 for 3 days (about 3 times what it normally is, for example). My flight was free (I had airline miles for it), but had I paid for it it would be $890.

By mid october 2009, the prices should return to normal.
 
Also the scenario we get in the plains during Memorial Day holiday rates, and HS graduations, etc. A real pain sometimes.
