Aero-News Quote of the Day

“We need a world-class system of weather prediction in the United States – one, as the National Academy of Sciences recently put it, that is ‘second to none.’ We can thank the hard-working men and women at NOAA and their partners throughout the weather enterprise for the great strides that have been made in forecasting in recent decades, but we can do better. And it’s not enough to blame failures on programming or sequestration or lack of other resources. As the events in Moore, Oklahoma have demonstrated, we have to do better. But the good news is that we can.” Source: House Environment Subcommittee Chairman Chris Stewart (R-UT).
