• 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.

I suppose it's only fitting that 11 years to the day after the big event here in Oklahoma that I'm releasing Storm Chasing Handbook, 2nd Edition as an e-book. It's a PDF that's free of DRM, so you can load it up on your iPhone, your iPad, or your laptops to peruse while out in the field. Not only do you get the whole thing in full color -- you also get the searchable 120-page Great Plains travel guide right at your fingertips.

Purchasing and information:

The e-book price is $19.95, and there's also a bundle price for those that want both the book and the e-book which effectively lowers the e-book price to about $10. A sample chapter is posted here.

In some respects this is a test to see whether we can go with an electronic format. Hopefully nobody will be passing copies around to friends or posting them on websites -- and if the idea works out well I can extend this to my other titles and perhaps we can save a few trees and avoid the weeklong waits for books to arrive in the mail.
