• 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.

Well I see that we have a few members that are going to be at the Symposium over in Nebraska. Wondering if we have any other members that will be attending the conference over in Des Moines later this week? I'll be there of course, hoping maybe to meet some new people that are a part of the stormtrack community. There are some good presentations that will be a part of the conference this year like always, Tim Samaras, Eric Rasmussen, Al Moller & Jon Davies and well as McCarthy. Add in others from media outlets to cover some of the better events of the past year and another great conference in store...

Hope to see some of you guys there!
 
I've never seen lightning video like what Tim showed tonight... Filming a strike at 10,000 frames per second allows for some incredibly detailed footage! This summer he hopes to get 1.5 million frames per second. That's a lot ;>
