It seems as if there are no online resources available to utilize when I'm in the center of the emergency Yard Dart. So the Old Battery Operated Weather Band Radio has once again become my friend. Sorry if it's not in keeping with the theme.
Just a NOTE, here... Most NOAA Wx Transmitters have a small Battery backup... (about 2 days Max) and then they go silent.... Many are CoLocated with USCG HighSites, on, or near waterways... Inland, they are usually CoLocated with FAA EnRoute, or Wx Doppler Radar Sites.... If a Regional Power Outage happens, ALL of these sites go to Backup Power, and can maintain for 48 Hours, then it is Lights OUT.... Most State & Local .GOV Sites have less than 48 Hours of Backup Power, without getting Resupplied. This was one of the MAJOR Issues for 9/11 on Lower Manhattan, as well as during Katrina, and other GridLOss Events in the USA....
