[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has NOAA been saving houses from flooding? That's quite a claim.[/quote] :roll: the NWS is under NOAA, it tells me when it isn't safe to drive down Beach Drive, and when properties by the Potomac should raise their flood gates. [/quote] And you realistically believe that this service will completely and entire disappear because a few hundred people had been laid off from an agency employing many thousands? [/quote]If the agency is understaffed there may lgically be delays in transmitting information. And delays can be deadly when it relates to flash floods, tornadoes, derechos. Just as having fewer staffed firehouse and ambulances can be deadly. Will having an ambulance or firetruck eventually arrive be a solace when your lived one has expired? Will having staff shortages when monitoring tornado outbreaks be dangerous? [/quote]
