Give them the NEXRAD!

NEXRAD is the "next generation of radar".  It is capable of producing high definition 3 dimensional weather map, for personal use and forecasters.  In the US, It is a joint collaboration between department of transport and department of defense.  As of today, 175 units (1.3 billion dollar each) are strategically disposed on US soil to scan a maximum surface, hence see what's coming ahead in the sky.

The Myanmar tragedy…Over 15000 death and more to come...If the NEXRAD was on-site before the fatal storm, could have led to a successful preventive evacuation?  I say maybe.  I say let's decommission just one of these bad boy from an area less affected by costal storms (main land) and donate it expresso to Myanmar...Or better, take a fourth of our NEXRAD (~40) and pack and ship them to high risk poor coastal countries and mark that day "official day of the day who America donated 40 of his 175 NEXRAD to third/world countries" day, and make it an official holiday for everybody...Uh, not going to happen?  Why not?  Too busy invading Irak eh?  Planting the flag in the butt hole of a few trouble extremists…Is that going to save 15000 people?  It already killed 4300!!
