....please use the official information from the National Hurricane Center (http://www.nhc.noaa.gov). Weatherunderground, Accuweather and the rest of that ilk are .com sites that gussy up the information in a slick web site and pass it off as their own analysis (we have already bought and paid for the NHC information). Furthermore, fetus kisser Rick Santorum (R Depths-of-Insanity) proposed a bill which would have limited access to the official government weather and forced everyone to use these pay sites (pay in terms of clicks), which, oh this is a coincidence, are headquartered in Senator Fetus Kisser's Pennsylvania (and which made large donations to his campaign).

about her new "book". It turned me right the hell off. I used to like to see the commentary posted on WU but most of it is rehashed information from........like you said, the NHC. But that Ann Coulter thing............ :grr:

Title: A bill to clarify the duties and responsibilities of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Weather Service, and for other purposes.

The 'other purposes' = Accuweather payback

Some of us like to use wunderground too, even if it is not a gov site, even if the people had to pay for the domain, even if there are ads. Personally, I use Firefox and don't get any popups which is very nice. Thank you for sharing this information again, I will continue to use both.
