@Yankhoe I can understand your thoughts on the human touch. You can't call any company nowadays and hear a human being answer the phone. The reason that NOAA changed the format from humans to computer voices, is, of course, money. Why have to pay humans around the clock, 24/7 when you can enter the data you want and the computer voice reads it? At least the Tom and Donna voices sound a heck of alot better than the original Paul voice (which sounds like an Indian in a well).
Computerized voices one of the worst things they ever did, the human touch is sorely missing from much weather stuff nowadays and it seems to be getting worse.
