    As a scientist, have you independently verified W.U. reports?

    Have you watched live coverage of some of those locations?

    Seen the evidence with your own eyes and examined conditions on the ground with your own equipment?

    In view of the tone of your comment, I don’t think science means what you think it means…

    It’s all global warming and President Obama’s fault.

    The news was reporting from the beach with a picture of a house with two small pieces of siding missing………

    It’s Sat, schools out, kids are having to stay inside and play on the internet

    This is the sort of garbage Drudge links to. The link is still up, and there is no apology from this blogger. Cross him off your list of reliable people.

    • Mike Mangan says:

      Well, I’m sorry. Sorry your mother didn’t get an abortion.

      • Shawn says:

        Just face it, you put up numbers that were, at the very least, numbers that you yourself did not verify first with other sources or you would have never put them up. Why Drudge linked to this is beyond me. The bigger question is do you know anything about journalist ethics or are you just someone that writes for the fun of it? You can call people names all day long, but after today your site will go back to having the same 15 hits it did yesterday and no one will remember because the information was bogus.

    At first I thought this was a troll or just an error., So I pulled up the Wunderground station map. The places where the stations used to be are now sort of little grey spots. Please tell me this is due to technical issues and NOT deliberate.

    Wrong! It’s just talking longer than usual to load. The server is probably very loaded.

    They are back up now on WU, technical glitch, as would be expected at a time like this. There’s no story here.

    yeah.. now I notice some of the stations are coming back on the map… glad its just a glitch..

  9. Anthony Watts says:

    Looking at this more, I don’t think there was a glitch at all. Zoom out a bit and all the wind plots disappear from the WU map. Works the same way in California as it does here. There’s REALLY no story here.

    PEBKAC

  10. Anthony Watts says:

    I’m saying the only glitch is with the operator. He simply zoomed out too far. I was able to replace his zoom level on the map and see the same thing right now…zoom back in and the station plots show up again.

    • No, I started at the same zoom level as the original map and tried all different levels of zoom. Apparently it is just running very slowly now – perhaps because of all the traffic from this link.

  11. huishi says:

    I can not see any wind speeds at all. I have tried zooming in and everything but no luck. Perhaps I don’t know how to do it?

    Weather Underground ceased operations December 30, 2011. No further information has been released.
