• 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.

"Storm Chasers" article in 5280 Denver Mile-High M

Just wanted to mention an article that appeared in our local publication 5280: Denver’s Mile-High Magazine which featured a 3-page piece in last month’s (August ’05) issue on resident storm chasers Roger Hill & Tim Samaras. The article by Peter Bronski, a native of Long Island, NY, who currently resides in Boulder, is entitled:

“Storm Chasers: Tim Samaras and Roger Hill get up close and personal with some of the nation’s most severe weather†(5280, pp. 52, 54, & 56).

A brief but eloquent commentary, Bronski narrates an interview session with Roger and Tim about how they make their livings chasing tornadoes, their closest encounters, and their greatest accomplishments, so far…
The article’s not nearly as impressive as NG’s “Chasing Tornadoesâ€, Apr. ‘04 cover-page, but is definitely worth getting a copy of, if you can. I’d be more than happy to post scans, but that would probably constitute a copyright infringement. I don’t believe this magazines distributed outside of CO, so if anyone has ideas, I’m all ears!
IF I can get permission from the publisher to post the pages on my personal site (with limited access or whatnot), I’ll post the scans ASAP & post another notice & link on the forum to let everyone know.
Again, if anyone knows a better way to do this, pls. IM me.

Thanks,
Jon Merage
