• 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.

We've been relatively lucky in 2005 in that most of the big tornadoes (yes, disgruntled chasers, there have been some!) have missed population centers. I believe this is a big factor in why no 2005 tornado to date (pending the survey on this one) has been rated in the F4/5 "violent" category. Today that luck appears to have run out in Wright, Wyoming.


2251 WRIGHT CAMPBELL WY 4375 10550 *** 1 FATAL, 13 INJ *** 40-50 MOBILE HOMES DESTROYED. DAMAGE PATH UP TO ONE QUARTER MILE WIDE. ALL INFORMATION IS PRELIMINARY. (UNR)

Edit: Geez, this is at least the third time I've started a new thread, only to have an identical thread that was being typed up as mine was being posted, pop up a couple minutes later. Maybe us ST members are more like-mined than we realize. :lol: :wink:
 
There are currently two threads for the same event currently open. Andy's was published first, but Sam's has a response already, so I ask that all further discussion or comments be posted in Sam's thread ("Killer Tornado"). Thanks!
