[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Florida and just emailed my two Republican Senators to ask them to please save NWS and NOAA. I cannot even imagine how devastating this year's hurricane season will be without these two agencies.

I don't expect either of them to respond - or even to take me seriously. But my gd I hope they do.[/quote]

I am curious, do you really believe that you will get no information before a major hurricane is about to strike? Like nothing at all, this is what's going to happen?  You are sitting there in your shiny condo or a house completely oblivious until the high winds start all of a sudden and giant waves descend on your beaches, yeah.. Try to use your brain and stop catastrophizing.  [/quote]

Do you have any idea - any idea at all - how early we start getting hurricane warnings, and how often they are updated as the storms grow and move? And any idea how important this information is when it comes not just to individuals keeping themselves safe - making the right decisions, with the best info we have - but also how municipalities know where to deploy resources and when?

It kills me that people like you are so confident in your ignorance. [/quote]
