I guess they must be worried that if they blow the forecast, someone is going to come and kill them.
If that’s true, I expect the first guy would show up in less than a day in most places.

Or maybe they are going to shoot at the clouds to make it rain.

Is NOAA going hurricane hunting, or do they just want to shoot a tornado? I hate to tell NOAA anything but the 40 caliber is not big enough to take down a hurricane or a tornado.

Earlier today, there was a thread about Homeland Security buying a whole big bunch of ammo—something like several million rounds......

IF MY TAX DOLLARS BUY IT... I WANT TO SHOOT SOME OF IT MYSELF! We need MAT cards “More Ammo Tonight”! They need to “redistribute” some of that ammo to FReepers... it is the only “fair and equitable" thing to do.

I’m going to second your “what”. I hate to think that the insiders know something is about to break and want all government offices/officials fully protected - but there it is, screaming at me.

The National Weather Service stations in Ellsworth, Maine, and New Bedford, Mass
False; there are no NWS stations in these locations; as the solicitation points out, these are for the National Marine Fisheries Service stations.
Within a large agency you will sometimes have a procurement office for one agency handling the procurement for another part of the agency (happens in DoD all the time.) Sometimes you'll have odd combinations. The NWS isn't arming itself.
Not that any of the above is going to prevent a bunch of panicky morons who just discovered that federal procurement solicitations are online (they have been for years) from wetting their pants every time a law enforcement agency buys some ammo.

someone maybe needs to tell them that tornado-hunting is just a figure of speech...

When it rains, I tend to get wet in that area. Does that count?

Next question is, how many federal employees are not armed to kill us.
I am really starting to be afraid of my (no it's not ours anymore)the Federal Government.
Folks, I am gonna keep on loading because it's coming and sooner than expected.

It’s gonna take a bigger gun bigbob, if we be going tornado hunting. Heck, I don’t think even a shoulder pack will do this tornado in.

I guess they must be worried that if they blow the forecast, someone is going to come and kill them. There's only a slight chance of that tomorrow. Mid-week is really looking better, with a 30 to 40% chance. So don't forget to put a vest in your car with the 9mm...

That’s a NOAA Weather Radio transmitter location, not a NWS office.

Appears that all the buracracies are being militarized, no matter how innocuous they may seem.
