• 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.

These are not normal! Holy cow...

I wonder from where or how you shot these with regard to your own safety, being at such a high vantage point!
Maybe I should spend some time in the Pyrenees over here, but to get this result is not going to be easy ;) ...I might possibly crap out when lightning comes this close with me in mid air.
Congratulations!

Whoop whoop! Batten down the server hatches, this thread has been linked at Reddit.

I've always been curious if Reddit was on par with FARK in terms of server traffic.
 
Awesome lightning as usual! I'm thinking you had even "better" ones striking the hills in some mountain, right?
 
Thanks for all your comments. Yes Mike I had a chance to catch nice lightnings over the Alps during the 10th of september. The Salève is a nice place. There is a nice view over Geneva and its lake on one side, and the Alps and the White Mount on the other side.


As requested on a French forum, I made a few crops. I'm sure you will enjoy them as well.
