Yup. I'm chomping at the bit that they'll find another horse trainer 
political contributor to run the whole shebang. Maybe a heavy duty 
banker with a tender heart.

How many systems have we gone through? I vote to let the weather 
service take a serious crack at it. Their system may not be perfect 
but I've gotten far more relevant alerts from them than any other 
system. Keep the politicians away.
