1. Really, they probably do owe us, because at one point, Bush thought he should shut them down
and have them get their information from The Weather Channel. However, someone pointed out to him that The Weather Channel gets its information from the National Weather Service. God, it's a relief to have him gone.

4. Maybe the OP refers to NOAA weather radio
IIRC, she says "CLOWWWdy" with a big emphasis on the first syllable.

6. Oh God I thought I was the only person that was annoyed by that.
"clOWWdy". It's funny and jarring at the very same time.
