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.

Phoenix gets multiple haboobs every monsoon season. They move into the city from the desert floor southeast of the city, or off the northeastern mountain terrain. Sadly most of them are shallow outflow boundary haboobs that dissipate somewhat quickly upon entering the city, instead of a dust front of a major thunderstorm.
Looks like there was scattered moderate rainfall through the city. Hooray!

I did chase that gnarly sand wall and it was great. (shot on slide film) I love to drive right up to the edge of the sand wall and look up, and shoot so I can see the edge where the sand meets the clear sky, and then put safety glasses on and let it roll over me. Sand storms have such a dramatic look. Last night I got to do the edge twice. The first time it came over, I shot it, then drove north to outrun it, then hit it again to the east. Rad.
Following the sand wall of course are thunderstorms. So after that there was some lightning to be had. Rain came later as well. The lightning was not as strong as other monsoon storms I have seen; the sand wall was the spectacular feature lastnight.
Now...if only blowing sand made our sunsets blue like it does on Mars. That would be a picture!

Incredible stuff there, David. I bet that creates a logistical nightmare during the afternoon commute!
