I think it would be helpful for the National Hurricane Center (NHC) itself to put out a statement signed by at least 23 employees explaining how important these satellites 🛰 are to public safety and assure Miami and 🇺🇸 that people won't die due to bad forecasts or missing data. pic.x.com/1BH5RmOXRa

This reminds me of when NHC Director Bill Proenza sounded the alarm on a similar weather satellite in 2007. Miami meteorologist right down the road from NHC explains how many people will die because of missing data, leading to worse or missing forecasts www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/john-morales-take-on-forecasters-loosing-other-hurricane-tool/3646310/
