Humberto Intensifies Unexpectedly into a Hurricane/Informal Monitoring Started

Hello to all….

Humberto has intensified unexpectedly into a hurricane during the overnight hours and is a Category-1 hurricane. His peak intensity was 85 MPH and is now down to 80 MPH. The hurricane force wind field is small extending about 15 miles from the center. Tropical Storm force winds extend outward up to 60 miles. Humberto made landfall in Southeast Texas and is now entering Southwest Lousiana.

Due to the unexpected intensification and the fact it occurred during overnight hours with no pre-planned activation ramp up, no formal VoIP Hurricane Net activation has taken place but we are now informally monitoring *WX-TALK* EchoLink conference node: 7203 and IRLP reflector 9219 for any stations in the affected area that have reports per the reporting criteria. This monitoring will continue until about Noon EDT/1600 UTC. If you have any reports per the reporting criteria on the voipwx.net web site, please get in touch with us via email, EchoLink or IRLP.

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