Lightning, esp, when frequent and close. And I love all the different acoustics and types of thunder to boot!

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.

Tornadoes as seen in 2024! I love structure and lightning as well but I chase for one real goal.

Tornadoes. I have yet to get a daytime EF-5 (per damage survey) for the bucket list.
(I don't like a grungy warm-front, preferring sunny, warm-sector conditions beforehand.)
I also enjoy chasing a Colorado, cold-core setup and not getting rained or hailed on.

Tornadoes and Thunderstorms kinda all coincide into one for me... most whom have followed me for any period of time know I'm a big hail guy, so that definitely puts thunderstorms into the top mark. Tornadoes are a duh, so I'm going to put the two into one and call it my number 1. And photographing lightning, that's been my fave. Honestly, I could argue that being my favorite thing to do with storms. But again, since it's all kinda in the same group (I can get tornadoes, hail, and lightning out of thunderstorms), I'll just wrap it in.
Blizzards... that's an easy second place for me. Not sure how/why I've grown to love those so much, but there's nothing like a good snow storm. Ice storms are cool (no pun intended), but I think I'm a passive ice storm lover. They make for good photos, but it's a little, I don't know, boring...
Everything else kinda falls by the wayside... I don't go out of my way for big wind events and I certainly don't get it when it comes to tropical systems.

Tornadoes, thunderstorms, lightning, and hurricanes,
Thunderstorms are a top favorite (unless I'm driving somewhere, and then they become less enjoyable), particularly any with frequent lightning and/or rolling thunder (which I've experienced quite frequently in the Carolinas) along with tornadoes (even though I've never seen one). I'd like to be able to see a tornado at least once in my life as long as (a) I'm watching from a safe distance and (b) it's either a relatively weak one OR a stronger one that stays over open country. I would prefer not to see one that ends up being associated with death, destruction and loss. It would give me a terrible feeling afterward.
