All,
Calvert & St Mary’s counties are now under a tropical storm WARNING. See:
https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=MDZ018&warncounty=MDC009&firewxzone=MDZ018&local_place1=Huntingtown%20MD&product1=Hurricane+Local+Statement&lat=38.6098&lon=-76.6206#.XygACcopChA
Since we are now in a WARNING status, I am activating Calvert ARES per the direction below. Please monitor the 146.985 repeater when you can. A net has NOT been started yet but it may be later today.
