I run a private weather company and can confirm what Josh is saying is true. If it's a weather forecast, an app, TV weather graphic, Doppler radar stream, or weather model map, the raw data is coming from NOAA.

The US experiences more severe weather than any other nation on Earth. NOAA has been up to the task (death tolls have been falling due to improving tech, timely warnings and collaboration with local meteorologists). Firing 800-1000 experts from NOAA is a giant step backwards.

The tornado, hurricane and flood warnings you receive at home aren't automated. They come from local NWS meteorologists with many years of experience. Best forecasts are man + machine. NOAA was already short-staffed.

These cuts will make it harder to keep your family safe when skies turn threatening. Hype? Wait for it.

This isn't efficiency. It's insanity. A potentially deadly edition of FAFO.

I find myself apologizing more for trying to help, than helping. #itsme

@djericbmix I watched the whole thing. Yeah, not that good. Was hoping it would get better.

[John Drilling @djjohnnyd]

@djmarcusmcb I’m jealous. Congrats! And good luck.

[John Drilling @djjohnnyd]

@thehughjeffner @djericbmix I look up to you two. Keep rockin the party!

[John Drilling @djjohnnyd]

@djericbmix @thehughjeffner I spin videos too. It’s an added bonus, not the main focus. Wish JammText took off more than it did. That was cool for the few that enjoyed it.

@paulmagers What a talented group!

[John Drilling @djjohnnyd]

@Delta Hey Bella! Thanks to Karey, things couldn’t be better. Just wanted to publicly acknowledge him for his kindness.

[John Drilling @djjohnnyd]

Karey @Delta checked me in at MSP and took baggage anxiety away. He is the main reason Delta is my preferred airline.

[John Drilling @djjohnnyd]

@rshaver11 @kare11 @paulmagers Can’t wait! So glad you two could connect.

[John Drilling @djjohnnyd]

I can wish someone a Happy Borthday faster than you. I just hope you spell it correctly.

Time to kickoff The Weekend Rollout @1047KCLD. First up, taking care of this request from @_MissBetsy_

[Mike Flynn @MFlynnGT]

I’ve never made a political social media post in my life, and I’m 100% comfortable posting this. It’s not political. I’m posting it because my wife is a teacher. And because we have 2 school-aged kids. And because I’m proud to work with @CoachBrentKey and call him a friend.

[John Drilling @djjohnnyd]

@_MissBetsy_ Happy St. Paddy’s Day! Funking up your Friday to get you in the mood for the weekend.

[John Drilling @djjohnnyd]

@_MissBetsy_ Get your groove on!
