Hey folks,
Going with only what I saw on the weather channel since the beginning of all this, I remember seeing all the weather radar over the area with parts missing or not working, which hid a direct view over Lahania during the fire.
Does anyone remember this? And of so, was their ever an explanation?
It's not unusual for weather radar to have blank areas. It's wholly dependent on terrain and location. I'm in Albuquerque, and our weather radar here can't see east of the mountain chain that abuts the city nor can it see west in some areas due to the continental divide. We're in a hole trying to look out. Depending on where the radar units are located, the mountains/hills in the area may be blind to many parts of the island.
