1. The American people dont want to know the weather or when to prepare for disaster, they want

to make sure 9 Transgender athletes cant compete among about one million athletes and that is more important to them.

Stupid fucking people.

2. This is madness.

3. G.O.P. is failing to protect and defend America

Disgraceful. Led by a draft-dodging felon sex predator grifter, the G.O.P. fails at even the most basic responsibilities of government.

This is intentional. The repubes are making a cruel, darkside war with America and American values and ideals.

6. The weather forecasts are almost always wrong

is what I am hearing. I guess we will see.

7. I think this has been under consideration for years. Here's an article that doesn't make it sound like a hurricane will

sneak up on us unpredicted.


"As the Defense Department transfers greater reliance onto the newly fielded Weather System Follow-on Microwave, or WSF-M, use of the decades-old DMSPs for weather monitoring is being rapidly phased out.

"The WSF-M, a more modern system that can pinpoint developing weather data more exactly, was declared to have reached Initial Operational Capacity this April. The WSF-M, first launched in 2024, can analyze sea ice, soil moisture and snow depth, as well as measure winds and collect cyclone data.

"NOAA will now rely on data and imagery provided by WSF-M as well as the Electro-Optical Weather System, or EWS, to replace the DMSP data, according to its July release.

"“DMSP satellites remain operational today but are more than a decade past their expected end of life,” the release said."

8. Simply replacing old ones

with new ones. It’s a non-story.

As someone who now lives in Florida, I would be angry if this was actually something to be angry about.
