• 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.

From last night and this morning, up to a foot of rain had fallen in parts of Northeast Kansas. Darin Brunin's hometown of Rossville Kansas had/has a voluntary evacuation where he is now. If I recall correctly, Southern Jackson county was under 3 seperate Severe Thunderstorm Warnings early this morning. Governor Sebelius has declared an emergency in four counties. Several rescues have been made and as far as I've heard everyone is okay.

Here are a few pictures from yesterday in my hometown of Rossville. All is fine....My parents live on top of a hill outside of town so they did not get flooded and the water ended up about 30 feet from my grandmas house so that was a good thing. I would say over 50% of the town was under atleast 1-2 feet of water if not more. Here are some pics and more can be found at the link below. The first picture is on Main Street in the center of the town. It was a very weird feeling seeing this happen to the place I called home the first 18 years of my life.

Wow, I was wondering about your family. I was going to call you to see if they needed any help, or if you needed the kayaks to get in there! Let me know if they need a hand after tonight and tomorrow, it's a short jaunt over there to help out.

My Nissan Sentra was officially killed in the northeast KS flooding event of 10/2. I was driving through Leavenworth, Kansas that morning in blinding rain after I got off of work at Ameristar Casino at 3AM. All of a sudden, I hit a 2 foot deep puddle of water (which I did not see) at the bottom of a hill (drainage structures were not draining fast enough, leaving a tremendous amount of water on the road). My engine drowned, and now the car is being written off by insurance. Many businesses in Leavenworth, along Cherokee Street were damaged severely from flooding of the Threemile Creek, which caused water to rise to 4-5 feet above street level along Cherokee near Broadway Street, around 5AM in the morning. (I drove through that area an hour earlier, no flooding was occuring.)

I have now replaced the car with a new 2005 Nissan Xterra, so some good came out of the event.
