• 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.

Hello everyone.

I've just finished production of my first DVD, Typhoon Fury - The DVD which is now available for sale through my website http://www.typhoonfury.com for $19.99 USD including shipping.

You can see a promo for it here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AoXGgACSpY

The DVD features footage from 11 typhoons shot over the last 4 years in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam and the Philippines and is broken down as such:

Typhoon Xangsane which hit Vietnam as category 2 devastating central part of the country. This was my first solo overseas intercept in 2006

Super typhoon Sepat's incredible flooding in Taiwan in 2007. The storm made landfall as a solid category 3 and in the immediate aftermath I headed into Taroko Gorge to film the spectacular floods.

Video shot from a port complex of the intense northern eyewall of category 3 typhoon Sinlaku, huge storm waves battering Taiwan as super typhoon Jangmi made landfall and video from Hualien city, Taiwan as typhoon Morakot crawled ashore (the storm which dumped 92 inches of rain and killed over 500 people.)

Typhoons of Hong Kong including Hagupit, Molave and the spectacular battering storm surge and winds of typhoon Koppu

Typhoon Usagi in Japan - the storm I managed to intercept the eye of using public transport

And finally typhoons Mirinae and Parma in the Philippines which highlight the additional dangers of intercepting typhoons in regions with fragile infrastructure

The DVD is a look at intercepting typhoons through my eyes and the footage is interspersed with my own pieces to camera shot at the time explaining what's going on.

The running time is approximately 47 minutes. For more information please shoot me a message here or visit my website.
