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.

Could this possibly be the tornado that was near Radium? I know that Eric Whitehill and I were on that as well as many others.
Dick McGowan has a pretty good video up on youtube.

Looks more like the tornado I caught just NE of Seward, Ks in Stafford County.
Sorry for the low quality.

Great video Bart! btw, it's Stafford County. Strafford is in Missouri. Got hit by a tornado on 1/7. 
That may be the same as the pics above, but the pics also look very similar to a 5/5 tornado that crossed U50 right before the side by side tornadoes.
Not to threadjack, but I'm still trying to put together a slideshow of that day for our local residents and would love to use any pics, videos, radargrabs you may have- giving proper credit of course. Threadjack over.

Oops, my fat fingers hit "tr" instead of "t", thanks for pointing out the typo. Guess I should read my posts before hitting submit reply. >.<
It's fixed now, and yes I did mean Stafford.
Anyways I'd be more than willing to donate footage from the 5th for your presentation. Just send me a PM.

I think you are all talking about the same tornado... Radium is 5 miles west of Seward. Anyway, here is the wall cloud a few minutes before the tornado dropped:
BTW I am still kicking myself for not stopping to take pictures/video of the tornado. The lower light levels and moving vehicle really f'd my pictures up. I remember they looked fine in the viewfinder but in reality turned out barely useable.

I was chasing the storm along with Joseph Tyree, Lisa Wadlow and Greg McLaughlin. We caught a nice tornado near Radium (photos below). I was shooting video and Joseph T. was taking photos.
