• 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.

Pictures on the "Daily Mail" site

Tiny tornadoes, followed by rfd blasting the storm to pieces, and scud moving by overhead over 70 mph turned into that above. lol So far the UK seems the worst at handling things you said(or simply have on your site). The Sunday Times article last fall said I took shelter in a town on my first chase, and when I came out, the entire town around me was destroyed. That after I actually said I took shelter and a big violent tornado went just south of town, destroying a couple farm houses. They also said I skipped Christmas to chase. I was like, I did? I should remember chasing in late December, let alone on Christmas! I think I said that I would, after I was promted to come up with things I'd skip to go chasing.

Isn't it educational to be interviewed for publication? Regardless of whether it's a direct 'quote' attributed or an actual live or phone interview, there's nearly always mistakes made. I still think that everyone should be interviewed and published at least once in their adult lives--it would certainly change their views regarding news accuracy.

Congrats on the book--hope to find a copy down here before too long.
 
The Dailymail is practically a tabloid, judging from the articles of their's I've seen on Digg. When I saw "Amazing Storm Photos" mentioned on dpreview I thought "Probably Mike H's photos again" before I even clicked the link. At least they gave credit I guess, even if they did mess them up (What's with the jacked up cyan?).

Anyway, the book is incredible, worth every penny and then some.

"Daily Mail reader" is a not-exactly flattering stereotype in the UK, and not entirely undeserved.

But in any case, even they can't blame tornadoes on brown people, so what they can screw up is limited to factual issues.
 
The Daily Mail is, perhaps, journalism at its worst...every front page story is of a scaremongering type, often blaming "illegal immigrants" or other minority groups. It's largely read by conservative/right-wing people of advanced years, who tend to believe in what it writes.

It must be the UK version of Fox News.
