• 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.

Hi guys,

It has been some time since I have wished to get permission to post this online. Some of you have read the statistics of the largest ever hailstone recorded in Australian history. It may have come from the storm in Kempsey - a video showing some of the hailstones falling during this storm are shown in thi video:

Yikes!! That is a helluva hailstorm even by West Texas standards. That'll put a dent in the barbie. :D

btw...what is the largest Australian hailstone on record? I'm not clear from what you wrote that the hail from this storm in the video may have set a new record. Any more details about it? That is definitely some go-rilla hail!
 
this may be from the december, 21st storm back in 1991, the hail from that storm measured up to 14cm...

some other notable hail events in austrailia have produced hail up to 17cm, good video jimmy...
