• 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.

Nothing great, but here's a couple I have. Planning to start actually chasing some this coming year and get some better stuff including some structure shots. These were during a severe thunderstorm here in NC with heavy precip and 50+ mph winds. Shot through my car windshield

So many wonderful shots in here! I hope I have a 2011 full of them! My best shots from 2010 are mostly sunsets.

I will share the only snow I got this year...

I've already posted one of my Fav photos for the year, but I just wanted to chime in here and congratulate all of you on so many beautiful storm intercepts and unique photos depicting them. I see lots of talent in this thread. Bravo!
 
Fantastic shots everyone, you killed it, I am in complete awe. 2010 was a rough year which kept me from chasing too far from home. As result I missed out on the many tornado opportunities but still tried to make due with whatever fell into my lap. I wasn't going to post just because I have succumbed to becoming a backyard person but with IL close enough to the genuine action, figure it can't hurt to share some perspective.
