Currently in Port Arthur TX, looking like this is going to be a good spot. About to get slammed by the Eye of Rita in the next few hours. Dan and Matt Robinson are in Beaumont.

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.

Just got done talking with Mike Gribble, he is still in Beaumont Tx, he was taking video of a buliding losing it's roof and the debris from that is how he lost his back window. One of the support cars for MSNBC's satillite truck also lost it rear window at the same place, they both where making a brake for the parking garage but to much debris and water in the road and they could not make it so they are parked between a couple bulidings, then that is when he found out he had a flat. He told me it was the most intense things he has even been in. Where Mike is at in Beaumont he is trying to upload the video he took as we speak, he is waiting on the new CNN crew to show up so he can do his interview, he is tired but fine.
