YIKES! Dual Polarization Radar Here

During the early to mid-1990s the National Weather Service (NWS)
installed a network of powerful Doppler radars across the United
States.  Known as the NEXRAD or WSR-88D radars, which were hailed as a
huge advance for weather prediction and warning capabilities across the
U.S. 



Check out the NEXRAD map of the U..S. showing that the U.S. Is now
blanketed with weather radar.   Looks like central and southern Oregon are
the last frontier. Go here:

But there is very very bad news for me.  On September 30, 2011 the new Dual Polarization Weather Radar that will scan the Northwest Washington Coast will be turned on and put me in the middle of it's evil range.  It is the first in the country to have Dual Polarization, which
means
that
it
will
send
and receive microwaves with both
horizontal and vertical orientations, making it twice as lethal as its predecessors.  It will also be the first and only National
Weather Service radar in the U.S. to have a zero degree elevation
angle scanning that will increase its offshore range and low-level coverage. Eventually all National Weather Service radars will be
polarized. 

It took 15 years of campaigning to get the radar.  In late 2009, Senator Cantwell and her allies on the Washington
congressional delegation were able to secure full funding for the radar.  In addition, environmental assessments were made of
the finalist locations to insure minimal impact to people or
wildlife. 
The final report concluded that additional radar coverage
would "improve public safety and reduce the negative economic
consequences from hazardous weather."

Nowhere in this report or in anyone's assessment or consideration of this radar, was any mention or concern voiced over the health consequences to people of scanning radar over Seattle, Tacoma and the entire Olympic Peninsula 24/7.

Add this radar exposure to other radar sites such as airport radar, radar on ships docked offshore, and more weather radar in various locations.  Now add this microwave soup to several gigantic radio towers around these cities, plus cell towers about ever 2 to 6 blocks, plus power substations, and a huge underground and above ground power grid, plus Wi-Fi, wireless routers, smart meters and then look above at the night sky and see 100's of sateliltes going overhead. 

This all adds up to a radiation nightmare.  This adds up to the fact that I need to run for the hills.  The onslaught of microwaves just keeps proliferating.  I don't know if I will make it out of here alive!
