• 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.

What Thunderstorms Really Look Like -Aerial Perspectives

One of the reasons people have no idea what thunderstorms really look like is simply because of the lack of visibility in most places due to buildings, hills, trees, etc. Even a garden variety thunderstorm can be beautiful on the Plains, or out over the ocean, but outside of that, like where I live in the Philadelphia area, there’s often not much visibility. I also think discrete storms are relatively rare, in terms of the likelihood that residents can see one from a fixed location (i.e., as opposed to chasing); there’s not much to see with a multicellular cluster, specially when it’s right over your head.

Having said that, even when there is something cool to see, I’m amazed at how many people fail to look up at the sky. They are too busy looking down at their phones or their shoes.

Getting supercells near where I am is uncommon, its mostly just normal thunderstorms (or really for that matter its mostly little 'thundershowers' rather than 'storms')

And yep I agree as well that even smaller storms can be beautiful. There's plenty of areas here where you can get a good view of things.
