• 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.

Years ending with number 8

However, I have been wondering ever since about June if this season will be more productive because of the abundant moisture we've gotten here in Oklahoma. I am speculating that this wetter-than-average year will result in a more-active-than-average severe weather season here in Oklahoma. Of course, that's just all just speculation. Well . . . speculation and the desire to drive shorter distances this spring.

Heh, wouldn't we all like to have the chance to only drive to Highway 283 to meet the dryline and then chase em back home to Central Oklahoma. Keep wishing..you know as well as I do there's NO hope for Oklahoma in the spring :p
 
There seems to be a pattern of years ending in this particular number, from reports and data I've seen. The only one I can remember is 1998, and what a banner year for crazy weather. January started with a rather sizeable bang with TN and AR getting the brunt of the blow, particularly Jackson, TN, Clarksville, TN, and Little Rock, AR.

Ummm . . . the year you're referring to was actually 1999.

Oh yeah, oops, got my history mixed up, yet again. I don;t really believe that years ending in 8 are any worse, some do, just talking about it, gettin others views. I frankly could care less about the year number, as long as its a good year. You have to admit though, 98 and 99 were back to back stellar years in the severe weather department. I'm startin to wonder why I even started tis thread.:confused:
 
1998 was my first season across in the states chasing, and I remember quite a death ridge for some time. However, I was also very wet behind the ears, and missed some stuff too (e.g Spencer - doh).
