• 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.

Well we had a decent push of Monsoonal Moisture the other day and the Thunderstorms were incredible. From Crawlers to Cgs the lightning was spectacular. The best part was there was really no rain, except for the fact that many fires were ignited this night. I drove very little to get close to the location where I shot the majority of these. Enjoy.

Yes, very nice Gerrit. That monsoonal moisture keeps missing us, it seems like eastern Idaho has been getting lots lately. I haven't seen rain but maybe three times this summer. Seriously.
 
Im starting to criop my photos now, will update this post with the outcome.

Thanks for the compliments. I waited since April for an Event like this and finally by August it panned out to be worth the wait, very worth the wait.

Hopefully this is only the start to many more nocturnal thunderstorm evenings.

Heres hoping all of you that live in AZ or are traveling to AZ will be very succesfull with Lightning photography. Im looking forward to seeing all of your new lightning photos.
