The lease mentioned in the article that concerns me more is the weather radar support facility in Norman. Last time I looked into weather data, prediction quality was much worse in the places where the WSR-88D radar coverage is spotty (the West, notably the Rockies) and the models have to rely on satellites and ground sensors; and it seems like Tornado Alley will totally get screwed if the long-range radars that can see wind start to fail?
