• 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 voice of Ike

Works fine for me ... just have to take the extra (http:) out.

Dan is right - he identified the problem AND the fix...

After viewing the video, I thought that sequence would be perfect for a science-fiction or horror film.
Be sure to have the volume up enough to enjoy it.
:eek:

Quite revealing for someone that hasn't experienced a hurricane - like myself for example...

Here is a link to my teaser trailer for our 2008 DVD on the hurricane season. I too was on the 11th floor of the San Luis but the noise was far louder than TWC video portrays for some reason. That eerie chorus of "voices" is certainly in both my video and TWC's but I think theirs was during the eye wall and mine was on the back side when the winds were stronger. Thus, you can hear all sorts of stuff getting knocked around, slammed and such in addition to the haunting sound of the wind screaming through the window seams. I cut the video to make it seem more like a scary movie and took out a good deal of the video- only allowing you to hear what is going on with mere glimpses of that hallway. Anyhow, here is my version of that same hallway...

Wow... It would scare the wits out of me if I had to ever hear sounds like this, I guess. As I live at midlatitudes far inland... 40-45 mph is enough to make me feel a bit scared at night when I am outside... Tested that out with 2006 late October storm...
 
Ike Sounds

I had the same experience inside the eyewall of Ike down by Hitchcock, TX when it came on shore. My sounds were similar but sounded more like a tuba and trumpet. It was actually eerie being by myself, that's all I'll say.

Check out the last few minutes of the video, too bad I ran out of tape.
