Edouard Makes Landfall as a Tropical Storm – Informal Monitoring Suspended

Hello to all…

At 8 AM ET/1200 UTC Tuesday, Edouard has made landfall as a tropical storm between High Island and Sabine Pass on the Upper Texas Coast in the Mcfaddin Wildlife Refuge. It is noted that this position was significantly north of the track guidance from last night. The intensity, however, remain as forecasted which was just under hurricane strength. Given Edouard has made landfall as a tropical storm, we will suspend the informal net on the *WX-TALK* Echolink Node 7203/IRLP 9219 reflector system. A few of our Net Controls and folks on the net management team may monitor when possible during the day when time permits but consistent monitoring throughout the day will be cancelled.

The latest advisories on Edouard can be found via the VoIPWXNet web site at http://www.voipwx.net and click Atlantic Tropical Products off the Main Menu of the web site. The advisories can also be seen off the National Hurricane Center web page at the following link:

Please note: Stations in the Houston area should be advised that the 147.000 repeater PL 103.5 +offset is their local repeater as well as the Salt Grass link for local ARES and SKYWARN operations. Thanks to Kevin – K5WTF for the information.

Thanks to all for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
