Stormtrack: Celebrating 40-Years of Community

[Steve Miller]

On December 31, 1977, the first issue of Stormtrack Magazine was released, and so began our infatuation with chasing the weather and establishment of the institution we all know today as “Stormtrack”.

Stormtrack has no doubt evolved over the years. From paper to bulletin board, to forum, Stormtrack is an institution that, to this day, remains the foremost authority among chasers worldwide.

We hope you’ll join past and present volunteer staff at Stormtrack in thanking David Hoadley, Tim Marshall, and Tim Vasquez for bringing the chase to us all, across many formats and iterations over many years.

Finally, I want to say thanks to each of you for continuing to support Stormtrack by offering amazing content and conversation over the years from which we’ve all learned so much.

Here’s to 40 more years of Stormtrack!

Thank you, Steve and all the current Storm Track workers for this post, and for the work you do.

And thanks to Dave, Tim, and Tim for their work over the years. I was enjoying Dave's cartoons in the paper version of Stormtrack years before I met many members of the community.

Happy New Year!

Thank you Dave, Tim M., and Tim V. for all you did for us. Today, we stand on your shoulders as we push Stormtrack forward through the early part of the 21st century.

Storm chasing as a hobby and scientific endeavor would not have evolved to the extent it has without the pioneering work of these (and a number of others including Al Moller, Chuck Doswell, Warren Faidley, and others) people.

I send my sincere thanks to all of the Stormtrack team and community, and especially to Dave Hoadley, Tim Marshall, Tim Vasquez, and Steve Miller. You all have provided not only great technical educational resources, entertainment, and humor, but most importantly, leadership in safety and ethics in chasing. Dark skies and safe travels!

I would imagine that I’ve been on ST for close to 10 yrs. I started out as a noob and still qualify for that tag today. Thanks to all involved for hosting a site that is such an educational resource for those of us that didnt officially study meteorology but nevertheless have always wanted to. Here’s to 40 more years !!

I started receiving paper copies back in the late 80s. Crazy how time has flown. These guys are legends!!

Dave, Tim M. & Tim V, thanks for bringing Stormtrack to us all, and Steve for keeping it going. Happy New Year! everyone.

Thank you so much David, Tim M, Tim V, and Steve for the work you've put into making Stormtrack what it was then and is today. I sure hope we can keep this going into the future for those who like to gather here and discuss storm chasing. Please stop by anytime you'd like to say hi or post your thoughts about anything.

Great site guys. It really is the best place in the world for chasers to learn and share. Dilly Dilly!!

 

[Marc R. O'Leary]

While I'm no great chaser, I'd still be in the dark ages without the help and guidance from this forum and its members. Keep up the good work and thank you all!!

 

[Warren Faidley]

It's amazing ST has survived this long-- given the social media explosion. Thanks everyone for keeping it going.
