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.

This was from last Thursday. This actually isn't too funny. I was damn near struck by lightning while standing out in the middle of nowhere shooting lightning to the north. I'm not exactly sure how close the bolt hit, but it was WAAAAYYY too close for comfort. The light streaks are from a lightning bug and my dome light in the truck. As soon as the bolt struck I picked up the tripod and literally threw it in the truck with the shutter still locked open. I think I'm still shaking from that incident.

6-23-08 Phalic MCD
I was up sort of late one night back in June (the 23rd to be exact) and I was checking out the latest MCD. I can't help but think that someone at SPC had themselves a good chuckle over this one. In my opinion, the Kansas/Nebraska border is the proverbial "rug that ties the room together" in Big Lebowski terms.
Residents of Kearney were highly encouraged to take cover.

Memorable quotes:
Craig: I'm all for excitement. I'm going to live until I die.
--------------
Me: I used to have nightmares about tornadoes, but they stopped when I started chasing. I used to think it was because I was confronting a fear or whatever, but now I know it's because they'd all just turn outflow dominant now even in my dreams.
-------------
(May 22nd, approaching twilight)
Fabian: Why are you giving up!? There's another storm approaching on 283!
Me (whining): Oh, we were just on 283 north of the interstate, and now we're watching it on a dirt road by Collyer. It is crap. Outflow dominant as usual. I'm watching a scudnado right now, looks like a little rope tornado. Man, what a day.
Fabian: NO, not where you are now. There's a new one to the south of Wakeeney. Quit moping and CHASE IT!
Me (moping): Ok. We'll try ...
Fabian: Call me back after you get your first tornado! (click)
[Later, driving south toward Trego Center, after the tornado south of Wakeeney touched down]
Craig: Well, you've seen your first tornado.
Me: Yeah. Now help me get out of this s#*$.
----------
Craig: Wait, it isn't pronounced "Wankeny?"
----------
May 22nd at Applebees:
Me (thinking to myself): It seems like everyone except for Chuck Doswell himself is here.
[five minutes later]
Chuck: Hello, I'm Chuck Doswell. Nice to meet all of you.
-----------
May 23 [heading toward a different storm south of an approaching wall cloud]
Me: Craig, you do know the wall cloud right in front of us is huge and rotating. I kinda don't want to drive under that.
Craig: Nah. It's just vertical motion. It's getting cut off by the one to the south.
[3 minutes later, we're under it and it's definitely rotating]
Me: Dude, it's rotating.
Craig (realizing it): ... eh, it looks like complete s@#* anyway. You can turn your camera off, this is a pretty worthless storm. But don't, uh, let that slow you down or anything though.
--------
Dennis (May 24, referring to my story on being on the wrong side of the Quinter wedge): At least you didn't have to escape it by going 80 down a dirt road.
--------
Me (for the twentieth time): Hey, Elton, where's the warm front?
--------
Josh: Um, Darrin, I'll tell you this because you're new, but there's a fairly good reason why the ETA and WRF are in agreement.
---------
[After a particularly hard bust April 7th]
Me: So, you guys wanna get something to eat?
Jayson: Nah. I just wanna go home.
Josh: Yup. Me too.
Craig: Yeah, I'm not even hungry.
Me: Ice cream?
Jayson: Sure!
Josh: Sounds good!
Craig: Sweet! Isn't that Braum's place in Guthrie?
------------
Fabian: So then she says, "why go all the way to Oklahoma when you can just bust here?"
------------
My gal: So you drove all night looking for hail? We had huge hail right outside the door right after you left. Our yard was buried in it.
Craig: I'm all for excitement. I'm going to live until I die.

Well, I just found the most humorous "shot." Reviewing my May 22nd footage a moment ago revealed that I had tape running the entire time of the Trego co. TOR south of "Wankeny," and as I had my camera firmly on the dash that day, it should have captured the beautiful pumpkin-orange pencil tornado in its entirety, at least on the periphery. Since Craig dropped his camera while filming it, then, blocking out copious cursing for the storm to "get its f#$# act together, all the cheering and congrats from Craig, and then the growing concern about the RFDs nearly blowing me off the road in Trego Center, my footage should serve as a suitable replacement for a decent, steady capture of my first (memorable) tornado.
That is, if I'd removed the camera cap.

What was the purpose of the last post?
Shane Adams
Humor. He showed it to me in a PM and wondered if he should post it...I said "sure why not?"

Okay. I didn't get it (still don't, LOL), and thought it was insulting.
Shane Adams
Nah, I think it was just the coincidence of it....a screen capture of one of my posts with an advert for a ring tone with my name. I wonder what I sound like? Probably a bunch of strung-together expletives from a chase sound bite over and over LMAO.

be the envy of everyone with your very own shane adams ringtone!
I want a Shane Adams ringtone for my phone! Someone should have clicked on it to see what happened. I LOL'd on that one
And yea, i think this is a bit off topic (maybe?) Maggie
