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.

That is a really cool picture. I can't really get a grasp on how long the damage path is because there is no scale, but it looks to be quite long. Does anyone have info about this tornado? (e.g., location, distance, EF-scale, photos?) I would assume that chasing this particular TOR would have been quite difficult given the storm motions and uh.. terrain.

Hi Jeff and Chad,
Jeff, that is amazing an amazing vantage point. It's somethings jaw dropping just how much force and ability nature has to destroy. What takes years to build, a lifetime to collect posessions all can be wiped away in seconds. Does anyone know what exactly this tornado was rated. Judging by the satelite image, looks to be a significant tornado.
Truely amazing power. Hopefully no one was killed or seriously injured.
Thanks for sharing!.

Good day all,
This MIGHT be the same storm Tony Laubach and I were on through central Wisconsin on June 7, 2007.
The storm began near Lacross and we kept up with it until Wisconsin Rapids. This same storm also produced INSANE hail (grapefruit sized or larger).
If it is not that same storm, it could be another storm we also were on but left as it got too far ahead of us, that also produced a tornado near Ried, WI.
My chase log with full report and information is at the link below...

I also have a post on these storms at this STORMTRACK site link below...

Just looking at the visible damage path through the forest it looks like 40 miles in length.
I used my fingers and compared it to some known reference points. In this case, from the northern tip of Green Bay to midway on Washington Island, WI. I got 40 miles, although it likely extends to the southwest in the farmland.

40mi is the length GRB gives it. 1300y max width (about 3/4 of a mile).

tornado was rated EF-3 by GRB as well
