• 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.

Some off-season questions:

I was visiting my brother in Albany, GA. Christmas of 2002. On Christmas Eve, we were woken up at 8:30 in the morning by the weather radio alarm. We were under a tornado warning, there were reports of tornadoes headed our way. I ran down stairs and looked out the front window. There was a very low cloud deck and I couldn’t see much detail. Suddenly their tall pine trees started bending over horizontally and the potted plants on the front porch blew away. I yelled for everybody to get in the closet (Their safest place in the house) I kept a lookout, but it was all over within a minute. The power went out, but I was able to get online and view the radar for a short time on a laptop before the battery died. There were already 20 tornado reports. I went out looking for damage with my sister-in-law. I didn’t see any evidence of any tornadoes. The most damage was the house across the street from my brothers house with 5 pine trees snapped off about 10 feet up. I wound up being the local “weather expertâ€￾ with all the friends that we visited on Christmas, explaining what happened. It was a nice pre-Christmas present for me.
