(PRWEB) May 9, 2005 -- Despite a relatively calm start to May, severe weather season is here, and several TV stations across the United States are discovering and linking to WXnation.com ( http://www.wxnation.com ), a live weather and outdoor webcam directory, which lists thousands of live streaming webcams and radar images conveniently by location for more than 100 U.S. cities.

In early 2003, well before blogs became a priority for many companies, WXnation.com's founder and Webmaster, Bill Young, Jr., started the WXnation Blog ( http://www.wxnation.com/blog ), which provides daily weather and space news. In a 2004 Washington Post article, Young described the blog as "the Drudge Report for weather." WXnation Blog became a popular destination when four major hurricanes hit Florida in 2004 and is now among WeatherBug Blogs "Blogs We Read." Today, the blog alone receives thousands of weekly visits as it provides severe weather news this spring and prepares for a new hurricane season.
