I was in Northern Steuben County indiana. Made report to the net control station that I had rotation, and funnel cloud, however I got smart alek remarks from them.

That's not a very well run net by any means (spending 2-3 minutes to repeat the full text of a warning while people are trying to give reports) - however to be honest either you were stating the wrong location or looking off in the distance because there was nothing on radar over the spot you were indicating. Could have been some rotation in something not related to a storm if it was truely over the location you gave.

belive me, the net has its issues.
However, I don't give a dang what the radar was showing. That is the reason that I checked with another chaser that was about 8 miles to my west.
Radar could be right, or it could not be right, But I know what I was seeing was retation, Wall cloud, and several funnels.
Don't try and second guess me unless you were right with me!!!!!

I'm not trying to second guess you - I'm saying that whatever you saw was likely not related to a thunderstorm... There was plenty of rotation in the clouds that day.

JB - I usually can't commit to something south of the border unless I'm sure that MI will not get hit too hard... Plus from north of I-94 til south of Angola it's just "regular" Internet vs high speed so I like to be on one side of that line or the other. Drifted down to FWA for the 5pm round of cells but just torrential rain and some 1/2" hail near Hunterville(?) which I reported to their net.
