• 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.

Spaceweather.com has a nice image this morning of a storm (in West Africa) as viewed from the ISS. It would be cool to have a picture like this of a storm that you were chasing and especially one that had a tornado!

Since its NASA stuff I figured it was OK to go ahead and post the pic instead of just the link.

I know there are few pictures out there along these lines so post if you know of them. I have that Orbit book and there are some good ones in there.

Back in October I saw some lightning at night on NASA TV (during a space shuttle mission) and uploaded it to youtube - HERE

What a fantastic shot, I love the depth and contrast the photo offers, given the angle you typically don't get from a satellite. It would be nice to see a shot like this on a more organized supercell, as that anvil looks a little wispy/mushy (nice overshooting cap though).
 
I found where the pictures that astronauts take while in orbit are stored online:

http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/

There are thousands of pictures but you can search to find what you want. Here are a few more:

ISS011-E-6115.jpg


ISS006-E-50711.jpg



There are probably some really good ones hidden in that site.
 
Wow, unbelievable photos ... think I might try and go space chasing one of these days...
 
Thanks friends for these great amazing pictures. NASA's storm chasing program.
