Hurricane Season

I'm not an alarmist by any stretch of the imagination (then again, I do not live in Florida or the Gulf Coast), but does it strike anyone else as either bizarre or just plain stupid that one of the key hurricane-watching satellites is past its shelf life and we have no plans for nine years to replace it: http://www.wftv.com/news/13493527/detail.html?rss=orlc&psp=news.

What's wrong with that picture? With our coasts increasingly crowded, how can this not be a priority?
