[MAMS] Storm names

[Steve Clark]

Reminds me of "Hurricane Elvis" in 2003 that ripped thru Memphis & left
70% of the whole area without power for 2 wks.
It was a pulsating wind of over 100 MPH that rocked the bigger trees until
many of them uprooted vs. just loosing limbs.
It blew windows & brick walls out of the larger bldgs & left granite park
monuments on the ground.

Yet there was no mention of it on nat'l TV because it was not a named storm
although it had winds equal to a cat 2 hurricane.  So the locals named it.
Otherwise, outside this area, many had no idea why we were off grid &
unreachable.

The only other ham tower in my subdivision came down.
I had major damage but the tower itself stayed up.
Robin Midgett delivered a chrome moly replacement mast in the aftermath.
The next round will probably take the whole tower but at least the mast
should survive..

Subject: [MAMS] Winter storm names

In case you did not catch it in the ARRL letter last week. The Weather
chanel is going to start naming winter storms. Last time I heard of that,
was a TV skit from 50 years ago. 
 
So, I guess we can look for "Gus" to be a storm dumping 12 inches of snow
somewhere. 
 
Think Snow Scatter. It works.
