🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

We’re excited (and honestly pretty proud) to officially launch Adopt-A-County — a brand-new way for YOU to make a direct, local impact through Storm Trooper Network.

Here’s how it works 👇
🗺️ You choose a county anywhere in the United States
❤️ You “adopt” that county with a donation
⚡ Your support helps us prepare, respond, and deliver aid faster when severe weather strikes that area

This isn’t about lines on a map — it’s about real communities, real people, and making sure help reaches the places that need it most, when they need it most.

Every adopted county strengthens our ability to:
• Pre-stage emergency supplies
• Support boots-on-the-ground response teams
• Improve real-time awareness during severe weather
• Serve communities before, during, and after storms

If you’ve ever wanted to stand up for your hometown, your county, or a place close to your heart — this is your moment.

👉 Adopt a county today:
🌐 www.stormtroopernetwork.com/adopt-a-county

Together, county by county, we’ve got this. 🌩️💙

Let's see who can fill up the most county adoptions in each state! When you donate... your county will highlight on the map!

👀 Something BIG is coming…

We’ve been working behind the scenes on something that’s all about local impact, community pride, and making sure no area gets overlooked when it matters most.

Here are a few hints 👇
🗺️ It involves every state
📍 It gets very specific (like… down to the local level)
❤️ It gives everyday people a chance to stand up for a place they care about
⚡ And when storms hit, it helps us move faster and smarter

We’re not ready to say the name just yet… but if you’ve ever thought “I wish I could help my area directly” — this one’s for you.

Stay tuned.
More details dropping soon. 🌩️

Seasons at the Window

Roses are red,
Snowstorms hit hard—
What is all this white stuff
That’s covering my yard?

The air bites my cheeks,
The sky’s dressed in gray,
Ice slicks every step,
Snow crowds the way.

The month slips on by,
Yet winter won’t quit,
More frigid days coming—
Why can’t it be lit
With sunshine and heat,
A summer’s warm glow?
Instead, here we are,
Just cold winds and snow.

Oh, spring and fall—
You gentle delights,
Perfectly balanced
With temperate nights.
The other two seasons,
Well… let’s just be real,
They test every nerve
Of how humans feel.

Whether frozen you stand
Or sweating you be,
Each day is a gift—
So remember to see:
No matter the weather,
No matter the sway,
Cherish the moment
That shows up today.

To the Storm Trooper Network followers and staff

Storm Trooper Network – 2026

New year. Same mission. Slightly more coffee. ☕🌩️

Welcome to 2026 — where Storm Trooper Network will continue doing what we do best:

Watching the sky like it owes us money

Responding before most people finish saying “Is that a warning or a watch?”

Showing up with super glue, boots, and duct tape (the universal fix)

Let’s be honest…
2025 tried us.
Storms stormed.
Radars spun.
Group chats exploded.
And somehow, we still showed up.

That’s because Storm Trooper Network isn’t built on hype — it’s built on people who answer the call, even when it’s inconvenient, uncomfortable, or happens at 2:37 AM and you hear us joking on Zello to keep ourselves awake.

In 2026:

We will respond faster

We will prepare smarter

We will triple-check the forecast and drive our Chief Meterologist up the wall...

And we will absolutely still argue over radar apps

Hope In Action (our boots-on-the-ground crew) will keep doing what they do best — working to provide support to those victims... and the rest of the team will work to provide sanity to Ricky Morton... the COO for Hope In Action.

If you’re here, you’re part of something bigger:
A network that serves.
A team that shows up.
A family that refuses to panic — but definitely keeps the weather radars close.

Here’s to 2026.
More preparedness.
More impact.
More laughs.
Same heart.

Storm Trooper Network — serious about service, not ourselves.

Love you all...

KGITC (Keep God In The Center!)

So throughout the past 8 years, STN has developed in different ways. We have made it a point to be personable with everyone and find value in the fact that we can be your friend in the midst of storms. Now in times of where storms are not active, we have noticed a decline in participation and interest. So to improve this and maintain the participation levels abroad all of our states, we will be bringing up different things amongst the pages. We encourage everyone to participate. Some of the things we discuss may not be weather related BUT we will keep it within the confines of being respectful. We will not discuss politics, preference, or anything of which will be offensive and a violation of our rules. So be prepared... we will have some fun discussions. We are here to help you, pray with you, and make you laugh.

COMMUNITY CHAT CHANNELS

META is forcing all chat groups to the new community chat standards. At this time, we are in process of upgrading those chat channels. We understand the frustrations that come along with this. We are aware that Meta has a bug involved where many people get the link expired. We unfortunately have no control over that. Our team is aware of the issues and keeping a close watch over it. We ask for patience and grace as we are trying to keep within Meta's community standards. I can also tell you that the STN Tech Team is tossing the idea around about having our own separate system so that we are not having to rely on Meta.

Side note - if you are in the new community chats... please do not create any side chats or extra chats. They will be deleted. As always, we try to keep spam, politics, dating, and other nonsense off of our chats. Help us help you keep things clean and consistent. Thank you.

State Presidents... please make sure that you share this out to your communities and team.
