Question about advisories

#1 Postby NC George » Thu Sep 02, 2004 4:06 pm

Is it really necessary for people to post the latest advisory here? I mean, that seems to waste a lot of bandwidth (they are quite long.) Furthermore, I'm sure everyone active on this board already has the NHC site bookmarked, and can go to that site to read the advisory. Also with the local reports, how about a link, not the text, they are largely repetitions of the official forecast, with maybe a little local info thrown in.

I only say this because it seems everytime a new advisory issued this site goes down (although for a shorter period today rather than yesterday.)

It's better on the site load if people just post a link. http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/ is usually the first site to post the advisories. :-)
