• 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.

I generally chase within 100 miles of my home in Northern Illinois. Once I leave my house though, I am basically blind besides NOAA Weather Radio. What is the best way chasers get the internet in their cars?
 
Wi-fi hotspots are available at most every motel now in tornado alley. You can stop at one load up all your favorite sites and then review them in your internet cache offline.
 
I'd have to agree on the whole motel bit, as they are pretty good for WI-FI. Such places as McDonald's and Truck Stops (Flying J, etc.) have WI-FI available, but they charge for it...
 
The free wifi at motels is going to start a revolution, I don't see how anyone can get away with charging for it anymore. It totally changed the chase scene this year.

We pulled into a motel in Lawton, OK to connect and some business guy was sitting next to us doing the same thing. He wasn't a chaser, but was taking advantage of their wifi.
