Incredibly Slow Performance of noaa.gov Sites

[James Langford]

Is anyone else experiencing very slow respopnse times from any of the noaa.gov sites? At times, I am getting no response at all. Other times, the page will partially load and freeze. Is this just me? This has been happening for a while for me now, but is especially bad today.

This is particularly troubling on a day like today. Are the public feeds to GR also running behind today?

Central Region server seems to be hanging. Other regions doing fine. EMWIN & AllisonHouse not having any hiccups.

I can't get any response from the Indy page at all. Hopefully folks that live in that area aren't relying upon weather.gov for checking the radar in their area.

Of course not, most people get their info from TV and radio in these situations. If they know how to interpret doppler radar, they aren't getting it from weather.gov

The problem is likely too many people relying on the noaa/nws sites. Performance of those site will probably improve once people that live outside the threat area go to work or school.

Well, it would seem quite a large number of folks are hitting the site, as that is probably what is bringing them down right? ;-) But you are right, hopefully folks are watching local tv.

Update:

Looks like someone went and kicked the servers, as they are all back up now.
