I am sending this message to all three lists at the request of the NWS.

A powerful storm moved through parts of Monongalia and Greene Counties
overnight. The storm contained winds up to 70 MPH, frequent ground to cloud
lightning and it had a tornadic signature on RADAR. While it missed
Morgantown and Fairmont it did hit areas in nearby locations.

The NWS has requested damage reports from us. *The attached graphic shows
the areas in red where reports are especially needed,* This includes any
downed trees, power lines down, roads partially or fully blocked and
localized flooding. *If you have any damage reports either through direct
knowledge or from reliable sources, please submit them*.

You can do this in any of the following ways:


   - Via the W8MWA repeater or the W8SP repeater. Simply call WB1AAL. I am
   monitoring both machines.
   - Send email to jnfritz07 at gmail.com
   - Posting to this list.


The reports received will help the NWS, first responders and the media know
where damage has occurred and help is needed.

Jeff, WB1AAL
