• 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.

West Texas Flooding

Been getting a LOT of rain on the South Plains around the Lubbock area the past few days. Day before yesterday we got over 2" of rain here 35 miles SW of LBB. Then last night we got more than 5", and it's now raining again.

There was some flooding around the area. The horse barn where my wife boards her horse was flooded, as was all the surrounding area. They lost a couple chickens, some kittens and a goat to drowning. A man that has lived here all his life says he has only seen that spot flood once before, in winter, and it froze!

Out west of Brownfield, US380 is shut down with over 10 feet of water across the road. Any additional rain will make that go higher because the water just has no place else left to go.

Here is some video of some of the shots of the area. The barn where the animals died is in there too. Watch the shot that looks like a lake across the road, you can spot the top of a car in there. TXDOT told me there are actually 2 cars in there. One was some people traveling here from Missouri.

There is a couple of "vortex suprises" on the end of the video. I was determined to get a spinup out of all this! :wink:

LOL!! I love the spinups... Watchout, could become a massive wedge! We've been getting rain all day here as well in Dallas
 
The "secondary large one" is spinning anticyclonically!!! What is the odds...like 1/1000!!!

Yeah, was that cool or what. Just to give you an idea of how much water was going down in to those whirlpools, the shot where all that water is gushing out the drainage pipes is on the other side of the road! :shock:
