BOGUS muddied water US Drought monitor update of 01-18-2011
This is non sense and I just sent the following email to the contact folks at the US Drought monitor expressing my anger with their latest BOGUS update made on January 18, 2011. Notice how they show Alabama in a little better than the surrounding states that have also been getting a flood of precipitation for over 2 months. Last week we got 8 to 12 weeks of snow and each week for the past 2 months everything from schools to an array of assorted businesses have had to close due to inclimate weather conditions primarily in the form of rainfall and snow! Here is what my email stated:
To whom it may concern: In order to properly inform the taxpaying public in an honest and forthright manner please elevate this email to the respective authorities at once. The responsible organizations seriously need to review the applicable policies and procedures (or rewrite them if necessary) in order to get your act together and start reporting the accurate information in regard to the US Drought monitor by reflecting the reality of the situation at hand per the following website:
http://drought.unl.edu:80/dm/monitor.html
Many people in the USA believe your current information/data suppliers are furnishing outright erroneous information currently being reported in the US Drought Monitor website as listed above. We feel it is imperative you answer the following questions:
Who furnishes and approves the data before it is made public?
Who checks the information against current statistics?
How come the official US Drought Monitor data has not changed proportionately especially in the southeast US geography over the past 2 months when we get rain on a regular basis well over the NWS’ often unreliable forecasts?
What good is this information if it is not a reflection of the truth? The southeast has been wet for over 2 months and everything is muddy. Ponds, waterways, and the overall water table that were completely dried up during alleged technological weather control experimentation (prior to October early November 2010 are full again and you cannot seriously expect anyone to believe the highly questionable data you are reporting . Last week we got almost a foot of snow in several states…do the math! Right now as I write, we are getting heavy precipitation via rainfall and snow. We are not in a drought anymore!
We urge you to reverify your data and give the public an honest reliable update ASAP
PLEASE START REPORTING THE FACTS AND NOTHING BUT THE FACTS, THAT IS ALL!
Regards,
Concerned US citizen and friends
