"Bastardi sucks...boycott Accu-Weather (the anti-NWS company) "
I hat to say I agree. He seems to be a bit full of hyperbolie.
Accuweather wants congress to block our access to the National Weather Service information and only allow it through Accuweather and other vendors.
I recommend Weather Underground. You can join their premier service for $5/YEAR to recieve all weather alerts for your area to your pager/email.
Yep, all the freebee information everybody gets would be funnelled through services like Accuweather, like lightning strike information is now...
I refuse to do business with robber barons.
My taxes pay for this info - why should I have to pay for it twice so accuweather gets rich?
