It doesn't amake any sense to pay a buck to get food poisoninh.
Sorry to say but that HamWeather you tauted above in that column is as ugly as a year old potatoe peel. That type of weather layout is obsolete and the quality hi-tech weather innovation is FLASH!!!
Also there is the very latest cutting edge technology known as VIPIR radar tracking started by Barron Services who supply ALL USA TV weather stations with this very latest technology. Now some very intelligent and courageous developers are bringing this very important forecast tool onto the desktops and especially laptops where they belong. Safety is paramount in any serious weather event and there is no time to waste on out-dated data that arrives only after the fact, or should i say, after a disaster.
