Who am I
I have been an avid weather enthusiast since early 2000. In 2005 I put up my first weather station on the web.
I spent 37 years in southwest Florida and monitored and endured though many Hurricanes.
I moved to Jonesboro Arkansas in February 2025. I have since become a registered spotter and monitor severe weather closely.
Not wanting to quit my hobby, I put a new website up to provide weather updates as best as I can for Jonesboro.
Back end Equipment
Most of my servers are Linux based. I run all my own backend rack servers in-house. All sites run in Vsphere virtual environments.
Weather Alerts that are provided on my site come directly from Openweather.org in real time. It is a very trusted source.
Other weather data comes from my personal sensors.
