• 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.

Not another Storm Chase Tour!

With the likely changes occurring this season to Discovery Storm Chasers, I am taking this opportunity to set out on my own in 2012.

-Not just another tour company with packed vans-

I know, they say the storm chase tour market is flooded. What I am offering is not a standard storm chase tour... I am going to be offering a private, 1 vehicle, expedition that I will be leading each chase. We will run a fully equipped Suburban and be offering 4 seats for each 7-day chase event. And no! I am NOT even going to be charging $1,100 a seat a DAY... and some might even call me an "Authentic Pro Storm Chaser" as well.

I bring 12 years of storm chasing and successful tornado forecasting to the table and I am a published Atmospheric Scientist. For 7 full chase days including 8 nights of lodging we will be charging $3,195. This is right around the standard industry rate for non-van tours. We will also be recording the chases in a documentary-reality style, which will be available as a free web mini-series after the season completes.

PS: We will be looking for 1 experienced photographer/videographer/storm chaser to ride along and help capture the season. PM me at www.facebook.com/matt.grzych if qualified and interested.

Thanks,
Matt Grzych
