TDWR Radars

Since late 2019, the TDWR radars in the USA have been unavailable on the internet. They were always on www.weather.gov via a link which led to www.srh.noaa.gov. Ordinarily not a big deal, but last weekend the MIA WSR88 wide area radar was down for maintenance from about April 20 thru April 30, the Key West WSR88 was down from April 24 thru April 25, and the MIA, FLL, and PBI TDWRs were all missing from the internet since late 2019. So, no weather radar coverage for about 15 million people, except the one from the local NBC Network affiliate, which is hard to navigate to without going thru a bunch of touchy-feelie crap that passes for news nowadays. Google search turns up a bunch of old, broken links. Does anybody know what/why for the disappearance of these radar from the internet? I posted this on the Engineers and Technicians Forum of Pprune, and did not get much, so I apologize for posting here.
