For some reason, "view source" gets the right list. Maybe a referer issue like someone else said.

It looks really cool and I'd love to play it but I don't have a Windows PC. Any chance you have plans to make it available on Linux/Steam Deck?

Sometimes the NOAA APIs don't return data according to the usual structure. I can't consistently reproduce it. If you can please let me know!
