VoIP Hurricane Net Formal Operations Secured for Tropical Storm Fay at 8 AM ET
Hello to all…
Tropical Storm Fay made landfall at 5 AM ET this morning over Camp Romano Florida. Fay is expected to remain over Florida as a tropical storm dumping heavy rainfall along with strong winds and possible tornadoes as Fay moves slowly northward.
Given that Fay is not expected to reach hurricane strength and is now over land, the VoIP Hurricane Net will be securing formal operations at 8 AM ET. While Fay is only a tropical storm and is expected to weaken, we will maintain a presenece on the system for a few more hours due to the fact that Fay’s appearance on radar now shows an eye like feature. The *WX-TALK* Echolink Node: 7203/IRLP 9219 system will be available for all Florida stations to utilize for local Tropical Storm Fay operations as required and a couple of our net controls, Fransisco-NP3OD and Sparky-N1YLQ will be monitoring the system for any needs of those in the affected area through the morning and early afternoon hours and Todd KG4VVO will be monitoring from 10 AM through Noon Tuesday.
Thanks to all Florida stations who supported the VoIP Hurricane Net during this operation as well as the net controls who reacted quickly to activate on short notice based on coordination with the WX4NHC coordinators. Thanks to all other folks outside of the affected area for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
