I know one of the authors of the Port Huron Statement. The original Port Huron
Statement, not the compromised second draft.

sure, but is painting an actual org with that brush a good idea?
which was why I pointed out that WU was bought by TWC. (not the other
TWC, of course)

I mistyped. It's AmbientWeather.com. Here’s the 
Gibraltar Peak weather station link if anyone is interested:

https://dashboard.ambientweather.net/devices/public/143d3d3f9aa00e499954061991374c7b

Ignore the rain data. Something is not mapping correctly from our weather 
station to the Ambient data collection, so it looks like we have many feet of 
rain :) But it’s wind and temperature we’re most concerned with, so I haven’t 
put any time into sorting out the decimal point in the rain gauge, or whatever 
is the cause of crazy rain data.

Re: who attacks the weather channel?

The Weather **Channel** is now a separate entity, which is the cable
channel only.

The Weather **Company** is the entity now owned by IBM, and it provides the
web content and apps such as Weather Underground and Weather.com.

I live near their corporate HDQ and interview there for a job, so they
explained all of this to me at the time.

According to this, Weather Underground was purchased by the Weather Channel and
