[LeArc] Urgent - Emergency Messages for Area Ham Radio Operators

[Jackie Sullivan]

Jesse, This is Brandon's mom. I can't do any radio stuff obviously, but if 
your group is called upon to provide physical assistance, call me and I will 
see what I can do to help. This is scary stuff as I am not a cold weather 
person and I feel for those without heat.
