Hurricane Noel Special Update 11/2/2007 7:10 AM EDT/11:10 UTC

Hello to all….

Noel intensified into a hurricane as it pulled away from the Bahamas Thursday Evening. Noel is expected to become a large and powerful extratropical storm bringing strong and damaging winds to portions of New England as well as the Canadian Maritimes. The latest NHC advisory urges interests from North Carolina northward to New England to monitor NWS Products and for people in the Canadian Maritimes to monitor products issued by the Canadian Hurricane Centre.

As many of you are aware, I live in South Coastal Massachusetts. We are preparing for a long duration SKYWARN Activation Saturday with the potential for possible ARES activation on Cape Cod and the Islands where there is the potential for wind gusts of 75 MPH and possibly higher in that area. We are anticipating an activation of Operations at NWS Taunton under call-sign, WX1BOX on Saturday as well. From a VoIP perspective, we intend to use the New England EchoLink Conference, *NEW-ENG* Node: 9123, IRLP reflector 9123 for our operations. Updates on the storm’s impact can be heard there and updates will be posted when possible on our NWS Taunton SKYWARN Home Page which is at the following link:

This will be the last update on Noel for the VoIPWXNet web site and email lists as extratropical transition is underway. Thanks to all for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricnae Net!
