I was really worried about the noaa cuts as they do a lot more than correct imbeciles hurricane forecasts. I am pretty active as a civilian. I have a local weather station that reports to madis. I enjoy making sure my data is as precise and accurate as possible. I rarely use noaa for tornado warnings. Our local meteorologists are all over it. They are using noaa radar but they have access to data we don’t and can reliably pinpoint areas of concern.

Even though the cuts are not attributed to any of these deaths. It certainly sounds like it created the need for more local cooperation, which in turn will be paid for at the local level. And we all know who pays for that.

Anyway, from the second article… The deaths were not attributable to the staffing cuts," he said, according to the outlet. "Everybody was there last night. We had a full team."
