Seems like every time I go out of town we get something to keeps us on alert 

Below is a flood warning for Tomorrow and Wednesday.

For those who are ARES volunteers or want to support, 

1- Monitor 147.315 repeater and NWS broadcast.  
2- Charge your HT batteries and prepare your go kits.
3- Do not act until the City, Red Cross or the Hospital ask for help and that, if it happens, will be via either Rick KA4GFY, or Ian N8IK

Stay safe,
73 Rick
