Wow...I wish the nhc would stay the offical in give the offical stuff. While private comps made unoffical forecast. The more options on things the better. But the nhc should hold all the offical powers.

D*mn Crappuwx, I will never subscribe to their products... :grr: . I've written a letter to crappuwx...

Dear Crappuwx of Destruction,

You and your (beep)'n a*s will never, EVER, take over the righteous and almighty National Weather Service. Just go away. I wish you would just take your sorry a*s somewhere else like Jupiter and just stay there until you die a slow and painful death. I am so outraged by your worthless pieces of (beep). WTF are you?!

Have a good day!

Sincerely,
Joe Bastardi's Mom

edit: OK, OK, I just now saw the April Fools joke afterwards, but I still cannot stand that company on a personal level


NHC MUST remain the official agency. Accuwx should be called Inaccuwx to put it mildly

only makes my life that much easier. I do not consider NHC any competetion to what I provide as they are the official agency and have ZERO desire to compete with them. If Accuwx decides to be the official agency, and when they flop like I know they will, better for me

I will flat out say it. Accuwx is not a credible company. They do not provide forecast verification. I am still waiting for Ophelia to hit NO as a category 3. Their record has showed through the years that they have no right to be the official agency. They cannot even produce a product of the elvel of NWHHC. There is a reason why my products were used for the RAINEX project last year and not theirs

Accuweather gave a good joke about a major blizzard coming this weekend (when really it is a tornado outbreak)
