Yesterday my life was potentially saved by the old BOM site.

I saw a storm. I checked the radar. I checked the Doppler wind. I saw the tornado in rotation of this doppler data. I took steps. I was able to track the storm in real-time and evaluate that I was in the most damaging area.

No matter how many times the PR people go on ABC Radio and lie about the new site having all the same data, it will never have this Doppler wind chart.

When they went with a composite image and removed the radar site centric nature of the website, they created a situation where this critical data can no longer be displayed on the new website.
