• 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.

The longest track of a cyclone?

I was looking at one model forecast this morning, forecasting a low over MS-AL-TN border to track over Atlantic and end up in Mid-Finland by Thursday. This has sparked an question in me. What is the longest track of a cyclone ever recorded? It doesn't matter whether it is a middle latitude cyclone or a tropical cyclone. Sorry for such a dumb question, I am just curious.

I remember one winter day from 2006, when a low formed in Gulf of Mexico, became a Nor easter in the NE USA, and then ended up as 960 mb cyclone over UK where it stalled and dissipated...
 
Not an expert here by far but Hurricane Iniki that struck Kauai, HI in 1992 originally formed off west coast of Africa as a tropical wave 18-E on August 18th, 1992 - four days after hurricane Andrew was formed. On August 28th 18-E crossed Panama becoming Tropical storm Iniki. On Sept 11th, 1992 Hurricane Iniki reached Kauai with sustained winds of 130mph with gusts up to 200mph. Not sure if this would be the longest track but this hurricane is amazing to study.
