Data Outages

Columbus was impacted by a powerful wind storm on Sunday from the remnants of Ike. This lead to numerous power outages, and resulting in several corrupt data files on our server. I flushed the old files Tuesday morning; surface plots, upper air plots, models etc.. should start to reappear. Sorry for the inconvenience.

New Menus

Bye Bye clunky Javascript menus! Hello CSS drop-down menus. These should be far more stable and versatile than what we had before (and will not disable any links that they cover!) If the new meus seem as if they are not displaying properly, please contact me. Make sure to include the OS and browser you are using. I have not finished putting all the new links up, but these should be done by Monday 9/7.
