Karen,
There was definitely something going on outside of NCEPs servers. We heard
from a couple of folks from Colorado to Oregon having issues that moved
their services to a new location and rates went back to normal. Since you
are in Ok it may have been further reaching into the mid-west than we
heard. Are you still having issues? We are trying to gauge from our users
now to see if something is still lingering out there.
