1. Glad I finally found and fixed that bug. I still don't know how it
got in there... I really compulsed that system when I first did it, and
there's no indication in the .wld file that I changed it (I document
things like that...).
2. I suspect the data are a little off for the MAF radar...Try this for
a .geo for it:

We finally had some weather around here today so that I could see if you
fixed it. I think you did. THANK YOU muchly.
You asked why NOZ instead of NOR- when I was setting this up and playing
with it MAF didn't have a NOR image for some reason and I picked the NOZ
just so I'd have something to look at. I guess I forgot to set it back
to NOR.
Here is the srb_maf.geo file that showed the storms Sunday night too
close to Midland-

Please try the WMSRadar selection. I found an error that'd been
propagated to my server and I think it's fixed now.

miles. I am talking in the neighborhood of 50-75 miles. When I
adjust the size of the .gif the center of the radar (the ground
clutter) moves around as I change the size. I had the ground clutter
centered but the edge of a recent storm was real far off.
