• 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.

We were thinking exactly what you were thinking right now when you jus tread the title of this post!!

This was the headline that we found on the front of a newspaper on a stand outside a petrol station near to Pensacola, Florida two days after Hurricane Ivan had made landfall.

The strength seemed to drain from me as I shouted to my chase partner, Jim Bartlett – “S@#t - HAVE YOU SEEN THE HEADLINE ON THAT PAPER !!!â€￾

On closer examination it was a historical article from 1955 reprinted for the 19th September 2004.

It certainly shocked us both at the time.

Yea me too Adrian,

However the point being that the Lake City Reporter was irresponsible to publish this article as few days after a major hurricane had just made landfall.
 
That is a bit irresponsible...it is likely to scare the pants off of folks. Maybe it could have been a story inside the paper but NOT a cover story. Or they could have changed the title a LITTLE, like Stormchaser lost at sea in 1955

Well, I don't know how many folks got their pants scared off of them by this headline... I mean, chances are there'll be some sort of "Pileup Causes 15 Deaths" or another sort of headline on the frontpage anyways. Whether its about one stormchaser lost at sea, or two cops killed in a drive-by shooting, chances are there'd be some sort of 'violence' or 'death' article on the frontpage... I thought it was rather intriquing, actually. Grabbed a lot of people's attention I suppose...
