VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Now, with weather radars, full coverage, etc. We (the fire community, though I'm not a firefighter) are obsessed with wind forecasts, specially since 100s of people have died here in wind changes in the last few years (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Saturday_bushfires). My favourite resource: http://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/overlay=temp/equirectangular but there's heaps. Anyway, I would think it would be criminal for the incident commander to not be keeping a close eye on the weather in 2015. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
