• 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.

Need help identifying this.

Well I was going through some of my old photos today and found this photo I took last year during the summer. I remember I wasn't chasing. I took it front of my house.

It looks like to me some sort of dry microburst or some kind descending air breaking through the cloud base. It was a multicell storm that went severe warned a few minutes after the photo was taken. The photo was taken near Sherman Tx. Any thoughts?

Maybe it is the sky giving you the goatse? (

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE GOOGLE THAT TERM FROM WORK!

). But seriously I am not totally sure how ever your guess of a dry microburst sounds plausible.
 
Yeah, I would lean towards your own theory that it's a dry microburst. I've seen this happen plenty of times (Mike Hollingshead has a good example of this... I was on the same storm but don't have anything online right now) with high-based DMC that occurs in a dry boundary layer.
 
Good day,

It's called a "subsidence hole" ... Simply a down-draft breaking through the cloud base (clouds are dissolved by re-evaporation as the sinking air parcel warms and dries due to the adiabatic effect).
 
Hey guys thanks for your help.. I just thought it was interesting how symetrical it was. I had thoughts to what it could be but wanted other opinions.
 
If you are not used to how vile the internet is DO NOT go looking for answers to goatse....

A phenomenon known as "goatse" has taken the internet by storm, in what has become the fad from hell that just won't die. Don't know what goatse is? It's a picture, go look it up, can't miss it. Unfortunately, no one can be told what the goatse is...you must see it for yourself....

Though I don't agree with the last phases: The 8 phases of goatse

By all means don't look up "goatse marathon"

There is also "2 girls 1 cup" for a real laugh see The Reaction Video

Personally Jackie should have his ass beat severely.....

It does seem the newest video fad is the reaction video series. Another
