I second that.

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.
Too Much Hype?

Yeah, since it took so long (half a day) for the media to really get in gear and be able to present the big picture, a lot of us got lulled into believing that the worst had not come to pass. After all, reporters were still walking down a perfectly dry and clear Bourbon Street within moments of the wind and rain passing, so it couldn't be that bad, right? Of course, once the footage started coming in a few hours later, we realized the horrible truth.

I agree...I didn't think it was that bad in the immediate aftermath. I guess we all found out otherwise, didn't we?

Not only did it a take awhile for the damage to become clear, New Orleans wasn't flooded yesterday. It wasn't even flooded last night. Its flooded now and still flooding. The worst case scenario for New Orleans is now unfolding.

I knew today would reveal a different picture. The same thing happened with Andrew in Miami. Everyone felt relieved because Miami escaped severe damage, but then.... they looked to their neighbors to the south. A very different picture. The flooding makes this one so much worse than Andrew.
The flooding in New Orleans today... now that was totally unexpected. I worried about the Mississippi's level rising, but I didn't expect New Orleans to get hammered today.

This is true...in some ways, this is like the World Trade Center attacks. We saw the airplanes go in, and we were horrified because we knew the fate of those in the planes and those who were above the point of impact in each tower. Then our horror turned to disbelief when we saw the South Tower collapse. We knew that in that moment, many people had just lost their lives.
In the same way, the initial shock of this event has given way to horror as we realize that many people will lose their lives, and there isn't much we can do about it. The only thing we can do is pray that God is merciful.

No, just watch CNN if you need to be convinced

Remember - hype means you exaggerate or mislead people. I don't know if you can say anyone went overboard in coverage or warning those ahead of time, so I'm not sure how people can say this was "hyped" or especially "overhyped"!

New Orleans is filling up like a bathtub. If anyone thinks this has been hyped up I'm gonna need convincing.
