• 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.

June 2007 has seen several East Coast Lows form off the New South Wales coast.

The big positive have been that the drought has now broken for many with some areas recording over 500mm ( 20ins ) of rain so far for the month.

The downside has been flooding, gale force winds and beach erosion - one large coal ship was driven ashore.

The video below was taken near my home at Kiama Blowhole. It is easy the underestimate the size of the waves, let me just say that there is a 50ft drop from the safety fence. The wind had reduced by 20 knots at this stage compared to what it was overnight.

Pretty amazing video,

You never get an impression of the size of the waves, especially wind-driven waves (windswell), until you compare it to something you have a reference against - Like a 6 foot man dwarfed by 10-20 foot waves!

Thanks for sharing,
