Wow - that is one of the worst I have ever seen!

How is it that no one ever bothers to report this so that it can be repaired or (hopefully) replaced?  These severe problems obviously didn't just start overnight.

I've seen worse. There was one in Perry, Kansas that was so degraded, you couldnt even read some of the forecasts. Here it is:
