Klaus, The whole point of these alerts is to not really monitor weather but try and predict when your gear (routers, switches, servers, ups) will go offline. We had 2 sites go offline due to blizzards this year already. In the south we have lots of thunderstorms and tornados which sometimes cause power outages. These storms tend to pop up with a few hours notice. If the event log contains weather events it would be easy to prepare or blame weather for an outage. Since we have 20 sites Its useful to know what happens in the northeast, west and central.
