An understaffed National Weather Service office means that severe weather warnings may not be issued at all. These are the same warnings that broadcast meteorologists bring to viewers.
“You’re talking in a large metropolitan area thousands and thousands of people that could be in the path of a tornado and you just don’t have the warning that is going out,” he said. This potentially dangerous scenario comes with very poor timing locally.
Let this be a lesson, never go against 0bama or he will cause you as much pain as possible.
it amazes me how republicans refuse to acknowledge that the only reason that the sequester was put on the table was because the republicans refused to raise the debt ceiling.

I agree with HappyTexan, although I suspect he was being facetious. Where does the US Constitution give Congress the authority to create a National Weather Service? If Minnesota, or any other State, wants to know what the weather will be, let them create a State Weather Service. The States have the constitutional authority, the federal government does not.

than why doesn't the republicans challenge it in court?

You really need to read up o this more.
The only reason it exists is because 0bama demanded it be written into the law.
0bama had 18 months after signing the 2011 budget act, to prepare for implementing the sequester, just in case he lacked the leadership skills to avoid it.
He had 18 months, where he should have outlining finding cuts, but he was negligent, and incompetent, and he chose to do nothing. Now he and his admin are cutting wherever it can to cause the most pain to the people, or wherever it can grab the most headlines.
0bama's own GAO came out with a report in 2011, listing hundreds of billions in cuts, and he refuses to implement any of them.
Gee I guess you can lock yourself in your house and never come out.
Without the government funded weather service you won't know what to do.
Fear for the next storm that you'll never know about because the government had to shut it down.
Coming up to hurricane season and that's probably the best time to announce this.
Let everyone know that they won't be warned of impending tornadoes or hurricanes.
Let them know that they are on their own.
Then the outrage will turn to Congress who will "find money somewhere" to continue the funding.
Is this how we plan to live now ?
