The NOAA forcast tonight did not call for thunderstorms to develope and
spread across the area. One, in fact, was a derecho and produced high winds
and knocked out power for about an hour. Do you think I should contact a
lawyer and sue the NOAA for their horrible blunder?

You wouldn't be the first one to sue NOAA. And if you won you would
not be the first there either. The survivors of some of the fishermen
lost in a set of quite fierce North Atlantic storms successfully sued
NOAA because the weather observation buoy in the storm development area
was out of service.

I don't know any additional details because I only read the accounts in
the popular press. I often find that they leave out crucial legal
principals on which the outcome depended rather than take the time to
explain what really went on.

Well, when someone cuts a loud fart around here the power goes out, so I
doubt I'd have much luck as someone very well may have let one loose. Could
have been the 70 mph wind gust though. As for the Weatherlawyer, he
mindless bantering and baseless observations have made this group quite
intolerable, making the good Dr. Maharaj's post look like a King novel.
