I don't like entire areas to light up!  That means problems for
somebody.

Last I heard WXSVR was down, maybe it came back up though when I
wasn't looking.  There was a partial replacement for it up and

replacement system to have backups, since the whole reason for it
having been coded is that the original system bit the dust.
