I run a private weather company and can confirm what Josh is saying is true. If it's a weather forecast, an app, TV weather graphic, Doppler radar stream, or weather model map, the raw data is coming from NOAA. The US experiences more severe weather than any other nation on Earth. NOAA has been up to the task (death tolls have been falling due to improving tech, timely warnings and collaboration with local meteorologists). Firing 800-1000 experts from NOAA is a giant step backwards. The tornado, hurricane and flood warnings you receive at home aren't automated. They come from local NWS meteorologists with many years of experience. Best forecasts are man + machine. NOAA was already short-staffed. These cuts will make it harder to keep your family safe when skies turn threatening. Hype? Wait for it. This isn't efficiency. It's insanity. A potentially deadly edition of FAFO.
If anyone is telling you the private sector can replace the expertise and data of the @NWS, they are feeding you some weapons-grade BS. We can’t. Sincerely, The Private Sector

I understand the frustration with slow responses for these tiny Appalachian towns. This is a main thoroughfare connecting Damascus, Va to 5 other towns, and the North Carolina line. It’s just gone. Every route is like this in some way, shape or form.
