Claims of residents feeling sick and dizzy from NEXRAD are unfounded and lack any credible scientific evidence. The noisy appearance over Delaware is from the KDOX radar which had it's receiver power supply fail. It is down for maintenance. https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/wx/afos/p.php?pil=FTMDOX&e=202506241227 https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=LSX&issuedby=DOX&product=FTM&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1 https://www.weather.gov/nl2/NEXRADView (live stats & alarms here)
