• 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.

New Orleans used as Xenia, OH

I was watching "Seconds from Disaster" on the ole DVR last night and it was about the 1974 super-outbreak. While they were doing some re-enactments of people looking for missing family, etc., I noticed, with ease, that the location of the shoot was none other than post-Katrina New Orleans. It was plain as day unless my eyes deceived me. Some guy was driving around what was supposed to be a completely wrecked Xenia, OH looking for his daughter- but it was clearly the streets of New Orleans and many flooded, busted up, dried out homes and rubble. They even had a guy playing Ted Fujita doing damage surveys and it was too in New Orleans.

Anyone else see this? I just thought it was odd and out of place- but then again, not sure how many people in the general populus would have noticed such a thing. Who would have ever thought that post-Katrina New Orleans would serve as a location to shoot post-tornado Xenia, OH?
 
I saw this show when it premiered last year. I remember being quite disappointed in the production of the episode (couldn't finish recording it). Don't quite remember how the re-enactment scenes played out, but I recall some other inaccuracies and generalizations.
