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.

Pretty cool video! I like the wallcloud / visible cloudbase rotation.

That is unbelievable video! Stunning view of a tornado...the fellow taking footage couldn't have been further than 75 yards from the edge of the condensation funnel! :shock: That ranks up there with the most impressive tornado video I have ever seen. Damage looked to be in the F1-F2 range from what I could see from the videographers informal damage survey.

After reading Gabe's description I thought there may be another video. And there was and WOW! That is some incredible footage.

WOW. The tornado missed him by what looks like no more than two houses -- I agree with Gabe that this is way up there on the list of most impressive footage I've ever seen. Very lucky that no fatalities occurred with such rapid storm motion.

Is there more than one video? I can only find one link that works, and it shows a video of a grayish-white stovepipe tornado occasionally backlit by lightning. A cool video, but not quite as close as it sounds like from what you are saying (the videographer zooms in on the tornado at the start).
On a related note, didn't the ISU campus in Ames get hit by another tornado earlier this year?

Interesting,
The guy filming the second piece of footage from Woodward Iowa seemed to have a fair amount of knowledge. He only took cover for the minimum amount of time, and as soon as it had passed, he jumped out of the house to film it again. I was quite impressed.
It was terrible to see the damage he filmed, too, with the lady in her house. That made me remember just how fleetingly devastating these phenomena are.

the video is proof you cant expect local air raid sirens to give you enough warning

Ok, thanks, Jeff. I see it now. WOW. :shock: Debris was landing right at that videographer's feet.
