• 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.

2 years ago this evening I and my girlfriend found ourselves witnessing a truly MAMMOTH storm. We were in Cedar County Nebraska, west of Coleridge when at around 8:30 pm hail started to fall. The hail grew in size from penny to quarter to golf balls and then even some to the size of tea cups! (3 inches) At around 9:06 pm a TORNADO WARNING was issued for Cedar County and for the next couple hours we would sit at a farm house watching very large hail, some incredible lightning, heavy rain, winds in excess of 70 mph etc. And, I almost forgot, get a brief glimpse at an F4 tornado that moved just to our north. This monster tornado would eventually grow as large as 3/4 of a mile and would be powerful enough to throw cows approximately 1 mile, toss cars around, destroy homes etc. Unfortunately 1 person was killed by this tornado, here are some links to where you can see a storm report from the Omaha NWS, damage pics, hail pics, etc.!!:
