Presenter reports radar gauge failure; officials may revert to analog monitoring
Summary
A public commenter said North Carolina Emergency Management's radar gauge failed during the storm, parts are delayed and staff may switch to more traditional analog gauges while awaiting repaired radar equipment.
A public commenter reported that a radar gauge used by North Carolina Emergency Management went out during the weekend event and that replacement parts are delayed; the commenter said staff went to Raleigh to address the issue and that, if radar parts do not arrive, officials will revert to a more traditional analog gauge.
"So the radar went out... If we don't get radar, he is going to, put it on a more traditional analog device," the commenter said. The speaker emphasized that staff and first‑responder departments worked quickly during the event and praised local police, fire and public works for rescue and response efforts.
