• 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 am pleased to announce my 2009-2010 storm observation highlights DVD, "Stormy Skies 2009-2010." You can view more information and a short promo trailer at:

http://www.johnefarley.com/video0910.htm

Now, I'll admit from the start I don't have hours of tornado video like some of you guys that have racked up 20,000 miles this season, but I still have captured some pretty cool stuff over the past 15 months. This DVD includes the only chaser video of the second Hawk Point, MO tornado on April 23 of this year and of the Manchester, IL tornado last August 19. It also includes video of a couple impressive thundersnow events in New Mexico in March, photos and video of a number of funnel clouds, and photos of a 4+ inch hail accumulation in Las Vegas, NM, among other things. Length is 50 minutes including 45 minutes of video and 5 minutes of photo montages. Price is $15 including shipping for standard definition DVD, available now. A high-definition verison will also be available October 1; pre-issue price for the HD version is $15 until October 1, then $20 (again, includes shipping). For ordering information and more detail on what is on the DVD, follow the link above. Also, I will trade for any other 2010 or 2009-10 chase highlights video.
 
I just got done watching John's DVD "Storm Skies". A couple of my favorites from the disc:
● The dancing funnels from the April 23 chapter. What a great shot with awesome motion.
● The thundersnow footage from NM is some of the best I've seen, as the video really captures the heavy winter precip and the booming thunder.

It was also a personal treat seeing different angles from what I saw on the June 12 and 13 Texas panhandle storms. What makes John's DVD really cool though is that he was the only one out there when he captured the featured tornadoes, and he nailed the shots too.
