• A student is looking for help on tropical cyclone prediction. Please fill out the survey linked to this thread: https://stormtrack.org/threads/storm-and-hurricane-intensity-prediction-survey.32957

  • 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 thought Mike did a wonderful job on this DVD, I ordered and watched "The Dream" first and had to get this one too! Mike you did a great job, I know how area knowledge really helps, I am really familiar with Northern Florida like that.

Thanks for a great video, hope to see more from this year maybe.
 
Received the dvd yesterday and just watched it today...AWESOME job, Mike.
One question I have about the Chambers, NE event...Was there 1 or 2 tornadoes? It showed and you stated that there was a brief touchdown after the tornado crossed the road, and I was wondering if it was the same tornado that started up again or a second tornado.

Again, I enjoyed it very much and after watching it a few more times, hope to learn more about reading the charts. Thanks for the 'lessons'.
 
Thanks guys. Counting individual tornadoes can be sort of tough in some cases. All the first touchdowns I would call one tornado. The one after it crossed the road I would say was a new tornado as the first one was already very 'occluded' and out there on its own and gets pulled into the new circulation and dies. So I would say that brief rope after that would be a new tornado.
 
I, too, enjoyed this video. I think that if one were a seasoned chaser, this DVD would be more valuable as a "post moretem" than an instructional video -- but if you're like me, and are still in the learning process, it's very educational. To be a bit of a nerd -- research shows that people tend to learn better through videos than just about any other medium.
 
I've ordered this video in addition to Stormwatcher so I have two DVD's to watch and learn from :).
To those who ordered and received the video(s), how long did it take you to get the video, from ordering to delivery? I'm asking mainly out of curiosity. I can't wait to get them!
I will report back here when I finish watching the vid.
 
I got the vid in the mail today. One question I would like to have answered is how do you swivel the camera around whilst driving?
The only gripe I have, and its a very small one, is the wind noise.
Aside from that minor quibble, its a great video :)
Chart reading is one area I need to study-up on.
