• 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.

Who Originally Took This Somewhat Famous Photo?

The third one down, a photograph from the famous Laverne, OK event, was photoshoped by another photographer who shared the digital use rights from a previous agent. By contract, they are supposed to title the image as "manipulated." Thanks for pointing that out to me.

Yeah it was obviously shopped but it has invaded the web, Google "Tornado lightning rainbow" It is all over. I had to fix the link as it disappeared from the one I posted.

I have a Nat Geo mousepad with that photo on it. When i saw the photoshopped version with the oil rig I like" What the F*** is this???" I hate it when someone else ruins a beautiful photo and claims it as theirs.

I also have the mousepad of this picture! What one amazing shot this guy got!
 
Great shot, but the original has an oil rig in it.

Just kidding! I remember seeing the original photo in National Geographic (minus the oil rig) back in the early 90s and being absolutely stunned. Talk about serendipity.
 
Speaking of famous images, there is film of a tornado that is pure black against a light background. The tornado is over a field and the film looks like it is from the 1950's or the 1960's. I would love to get a copy of that film sequence

Since others have correctly identified the photo, I want to point out the "oil rig" on the right side is the lights from a radio transmission tower. :D

They are talking about a manipulated version of the photo with a huge oil rig photoshoped in on the left side.
