That looks like a very interesting website. Lot's of info to study.

I'm surprised that the site did not mention anything about the failure of the GEOS-13 weather satellite. That is the main satellite used by NOAA to track weather on the East Coast and tropical Atlantic.

NOAA has retasked GEOS-15, which normally covers the West Coast, as a temporary measure. It sounds like there is a backup satellite in mothballs, GEOS-14, that NOAA will activate soon if they can't get GEOS-15 working again.

Since NOAA already predicted a more turbulent than average hurricane season this year, it's not a good time to have your primary weather satellite go down.
