TD #11 Becomes Tropical Storm Ida

Hello to all..

Tropical Depression #11 becomes Tropical Storm Ida. Ida as of the 10 PM EST/0300 UTC 11/4/09 advisory is a 65 MPH Tropical Storm. It could reach hurricane strength before making landfall in Nicaragua. Due to the timframe of the potential landfall in Nicaragua and the fact that there is very little Echolink/IRLP activity, the VoIP Hurricane Net will not activate for Ida’s landfall in Nicaragua unless a significant change to the situation occurs. Advisory information on Ida can be seen off the Main Menu of the VoIP Hurricane Net web site at http://www.voipwx.net or via the National Hurricane Center web site at http://www.nhc.noaa.gov

After landfall in Nicaragua, Ida may either dissipate over Nicaragua or emerge back into the water as a considerably weaker system and could possibly slowly regain strength. The VoIP Hurricane Net Management Team will closely monitor the progress of Ida. Thanks to all for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
