and now have authorization to hire about as many to 'stabilize operations'.

Which is to say, they are understaffed.

I recall the flooding in Kentucky? a couple of weeks ago was a bit of a surprise in part because the local NWS site didn't have enough meteorologists to cover the overnight shift.

Seems like a similar situation.
