Trump layoffs have hollowed out key weather monitoring staff amid storm season The National Weather Service has lost about 10% of its staff, hitting offices prone to severe weather hardest

Scoop: ~33% of NWS offices no longer have sufficient staffing to safely keep 24/7 operations.

Critically understaffed @nws.noaa.gov offices now include:

Boston
Miami
Houston
Omaha
Wichita
Kansas City
Marquette, MI
Sioux Falls, SD
Rapid City, SD

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that."
