Oklahoma City television station News 9 is reporting an anti-government militia group targeted its weather radar system

Early this week, security video footage shows an individual damaging News 9's NextGen Live Weather Radar, temporarily knocking it offline.

The Oklahoma City televison station reports Veterans on Patrol, which the Southern Poverty Law Center defines as an anti-government militia, is claiming responsibility and targeting other Oklahoma radars. Michael Lewis Arthur Meyer, the founder of Veterans On Patrol, told the station he posted a sign warning of other radars being targeted near weather radar. He said he believes the government is modifying the weather, according to the article.

Radars monitor the weather across the state and nation. Doppler radars date back to the 1940s and technology advances have made it one of the most effective tools to warn the public of hazardous weather, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Erica Grow Cei, a NOAA public affairs specialist and meteorologist, said in an email that the agency is aware of the threats against Next Generation Weather Radar sites and is working with authorities to monitor the situation.

5. Tornado Alley...

You don’t get hurricanes hitting the Great Plains states, unless it’s the remnants of one that came ashore in Texas, even so, it would barely be a tropical depression by then. However, they’re in prime tornado territory, and television station radar would be even more important, with the evisceration of NWS.

3. Yeah, the magical evil radar is changing the weather, which I suppose means that it's to blame for the Texas floods.

Or something.

4. Isn't this what Marjorie Idiot Greene has been perpetuating? Government control of weather?

These people are not only dumb, they are dangerous.
