Greattt...one of the key buoys was snapped from its mooring line(i ass|u|me by Katrina).

Bet they now wish the maintenance schedule had put repairing that station at the top of the list...


Edit:ohh I just checked the maintenance list...

42038 April 2006 Restore station (set adrift by Katrina).

Gotta love budgets, they allow you to fix equipment thats damaged half way through a hurricane season so you can get readings for the next one(disgusted look on face)
