Hey guys! Just stumbled upon this extension that helps with the storms - hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires. They ARE FREE! You can even get alerts for your location and the radius you choose! It's really useful, especially now. I'm praying for all Florida people :pray: :pray: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/storm-tracker-hurricane-t/bnkaaocadlimipknmjoebcfnjfffdnif Check out - it helps me, hopefully it will be helpful to others.

Какая жуткая дрянь этот Weather Forecast! Вроде как работает, но лучше бы не работало! Полчаса бился чтобы установить геолокацию для прогноза, чему это расширение активно сопротивлялось, получилось, но после того как закрыл и снова открыл браузер, опять получил пиндосовский Сунь-Франциске и плюс к этому, нафиг ненужную шкалу Фаренгейта. Удаляю это корявое «расширение» к чертям собачьим. P.S. Ну, а раз Chrome решил убрать нужные расширения, то будем убирать сам Chrome, благо, что на нём свет клином не сошелся.
