[OKDXA] Leaving Tomorrow

[N5PA]

They are definitely shutting down at YV0D tomorrow because of the Tropical
Storm that is heading directly for them.  Bernie McClenny, W3UR, spoke to
Paolo, YV1DIG, at Aves and said that the team will be leaving the island
with the Navy sometime Wednesday afternoon.  This confirms the RTTY message
I copied earlier from Aves.  Even if they were not directly in the path, the
storm surge would inundate the island.  The island commander is making the
call when they have to leave and it will definitely be sometime tomorrow.
Take a look at the projected path, it will take it directly over them as
this map shows.  I am amazed that they have not already forced them to
leave.  Here is the projected path:
