• 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.

Thunderstorms in 2007 revisited

It looks like I am officially infected with SDS, as during past few days, I've been digging into my photo archives and took a look of thunder shots done throughout 2007.

2007 thunderstorm season was a very exciting thunderstorm season for me. This year, in June, I finally got myself my own digital camera, PENTAX Optio E30, and I no longer had to borrow one as the weather broke out loose. The best months for me were definitely July and August when two severe night time thunderstorms broke out. I got night time shots from both of them.

This year, I actually had guts to actually take the some shots outside. Earlier, when there was even a single rumble, I was inside the house and nothing would get me out. This year, it was different. I was observing it from outside until either the rain began, thunder got too loud or lightning strikes came closer than 3 kilometers or squall winds picked up.

I have gathered some of my shots from 2007 to this page. I hope you like it.

Looking at some shots, I can't believe that even 4 years ago, thunderstorms scared the wits out of me...
 
Nice T-storms,, For some reason I can't get it in my head that thunderstorms occur outside of the US central plains,, Heh,, Anyway nice shots.

Really nice lowering on a few of the pics.
