<div dir="ltr">It says the outage was the radar systems AND offices. I can only speak to the radar system right by the office/work and that seems to go down at least monthly that I notice it. I've called them and asked if they wanted internet (we have fiber at the end of the driveway). No interest.<br><br>Offices I would think it's an operational or software issue if it's that often. I can't imagine a fiber provider being down every month at multiple offices.

"It was not the first instance of such a network failure — more isolated outages occur as often as once a month, Herzmann said — but was perhaps the most consequential in recent memory. Meteorologists around the Midwest were without key information that would normally be at their fingertips, and many severe-weather warnings went out to the public late, if at all.”<br>
<br>
WOW<br>
<br>
So the national agency responsible for literally saving lives in severe weather situations has MONTHLY outages and they just accept it as normal?<br>
<br>
If Amazon or eBay or Twitter or Microsoft goes down, yeah, it’s incredibly inconvenient for a lot of people, but lives probably aren’t literally in danger. Those outages get massive press. And yet the NWS has monthly outages and no one cares?!?<br>
<br>
Mind Blown.<br>
