getUSGS fails when recent measurement is not available in lookback window

[msweier]

If the USGS gage stops transmitting and there recent no measurements available, the getUSGS script fails on line 182 in the getUSGS_ts function. The getUSGS function expects a name element in the timeseries attribute returned by the USGS API. The USGS API returns a blank array in this case. This causes the script to fail and not process any other USGS sites in the queue.

Code expects this:

But gets this:

Hmm...in troubleshooting this I could not replicate. The gage is fixed and errors from similar non transmitting gages are being handed gracefully. I guess I will just keep my eyes open if it happens again.

This was the original error I got on the server:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
