Ernesto Update #2

Hello to all….

Ernesto regained tropical storm strength overnight and is continuing to strengthen. Maximum sustained winds are now near 55 MPH with higher gusts. Ernesto is still expected to remain below hurricane strength, however, the VoIP Hurricane Net Management team is closely monitoring the situation.

We have been in contact with John Welton-N4SJW from Charleston, South Carolina. He is an ARES DEC there. If required we will be making contact with him for any reports from the South Carolina region if Ernesto intensifies further than expected. We may also informally monitor *WX-TALK*/IRLP 9219 as well if our resources allow it.

Situation Reports on the situation from South Carolina Emergency Management can be seen at the following link:

The link to that information was provided from the ARES SEC Email list by Charlie Miller-AE4UX, South Carolina ARES Section Emergency Coordinator and State RACES Officer.

The VoIP Hurricane Net Management Team will continue to closely monitor the situation. Thanks to all for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
