Hello to all….

****Recording uploaded to the web site and links to NWS Melbourne, Florida web site on Tornado information added and announcement refreshed.****

As folks across the US and internationally may be aware of, Central Florida was hit by several long-track supercells that caused a major tornado outbreak in 4 counties in Florida. One Amateur Operator who is involved with the VoIP Hurricane Net as well as ARES-SKYWARN Operations in Central Florida and Eastern Massachusetts, Mike “Sparky” Leger-N1YLQ was available at the last minute Saturday Evening February 3rd, 2007 and we staged a special topic that evening on the Central Florida tornadoes which was in an impromptu “interview” format.

The recording of this edition of the VoIP Hurricane Net has been uploaded to the web site at http://www.voipwx.net under the Main Menu under the VoIP WX Net Presentations Archive link.

For continuing information on the classification of the tornadoes, damage pictures that will become available and other information, please check the following links to the NWS Melbourne, Florida web site:
