Hi Harry
I just went to the underground weather site and it came up just fine. I also clicked on the severe weather link you used in your message here and that loaded just fine as well. I could go to any state and see if there were any storm warnings, etc. so I'm not sure what's happening on your end. I go to underground every day for my forcast and so far it's working fine for me. I'm using I.E. still most of the time I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

Subject: [VICUG-L] if you want to see tornado watches and warnings for areas outside of your local area, it isn't going to happen any more!
Hi all,
For 20 years, I have been able to track tornado watch/warnings for all areas outside of my local area, through the braille.wunderground.com site
but not any more.
The page is gone, but even worse than that, You can try going to
https://www.wunderground.com/severe.asp
If it does for you what it did for me, the page won't load in Jaws, NVDA, Narrator.
If it does load, it does every once in a while, you won't be able to read tornado watch or warning info for every state!
So, we again don't have access to this info.
As my friend, Brian, who is on this list, has said, and nobody pays attention to him, "the way things are going, in a few years, we won't have access to much, and I'm suppose to feel good about that?"
I'm going to submit the web page to Larry Lewis, at the pacielo group, and hopefully, he can make some head way, but today there's going to be severe weather in the country, and I no longer have access to the info that I've had access to, for 20 years! The only thing that Alexa gives you is the severe weather outlook for today, which is a fabulous thing, because at least you know the general outlook for severe weather across the country for the day, but no tornado watches and warnings when they're issued outside of our area.
