The people need to know if NOAA should exist as a federal government organization.
I’m not normally a fan of big or excessive government, but the NOAA does what they do very well. They are an important service and well worth the money spent on them, unlike some other governmental bureaucracies.
Its not a core function of government and should be free market.

You are never funny. Of course liberals never are. What a fucking nerd.
However he is right here. The NWS is one agency of the US government that is worth the money we pay for it.
Back the fuck off of my buddy “Smirks”
“Smirks” speaks truths and offers thoughtful insight (with some humor thrown in from time to time) unlike dicks like yourself.
Not a fan of big government but the NWS is one place where the government shines. They get very little funding and pull off the best forecasts in the world. All of the private weather firms are dependent on NOAA/NWS observations, satellite data, computer models, and historical data. NOAA/NWS are the best return on investment for our tax dollars that exists.
I agree. I was just twisting Sic Willie’s tail.
They should forget about hurricanes and focus on predicting global warming, which is a much greater threat to our survival.
LOL.
Y’all will have to excuse TBG.
Gotst to run to the store and stock up on fresh ethanol free gasoline, then head out to the shed to check the oil and [attempt to] pull start the…

BRB!
50 pulls, a new spark plug, new air filter, lots of fiddling with the choke and 3 bleeding knuckles later ….nothing.
Drinks a cold beer.
Neighborhood kid with “Insane Clown Posse” tats starts it with first pull…
Convert the generator to propane.
All those problems disappear.

Ain’t that the truth!!!!!
Been there,done that!!!!!
Perhaps you should drink the cold beer first????????????
Nikki better hope it’s a near miss – based on how she handled the ice storms – it could swamp her entire re-election campaign.
Or if she pulls of the miracle like Campbell did in 1989 with Hugo and the first time an interstate was reversed for an evacuation in the USA she wins by a landslide. It could go either way.
There is a scenario involving reversing the lane on an interstate and an evacuation that has never played out anywhere but could play out in SC in a certain situation and that is reversing lanes on two intersecting interstates. If a strong (Cat. 3 or greater) storm was to be forecast to come in between Charleston and Beaufort an evacuation could involve reversing I-95 to North Bound traffic only and I-26 to West Bound traffic only. Pull it off and you are a hero, screw it up and you are less than a zero.
They kinda-sorta did that a few years back and everyone ran out of gas and dudes were pissing by the road from Orangeburg to Newberry.
Fairly big “cluster-fuck” it was…………
Imagine if it was DEFCON 4 and the missiles were on “hot launch”
Will her Transportation Chief be attending any Hurricane Parties?
Most likely maybe TBG and EDF will be invited. It won’t matter the SCHP troopers are the only ones that can pull this off. No one over the rank of Lieutenant will make one iota of difference.
We’ll drink heavily, listen to Christopher Cross, and watch Arthur.
