As a ham radio operator I was following every movement being unable to hear on the band now the Leeward Islands being in skip with them. I only wish we could help some. I take this opportunity to thank all the Hurricane-watch net members for their magnificent work in providing information and sending warnings in time, to have people prepare themselves for such disasters in time to keep losses as low as possible. Joe and many others being unable to mention them all, but there are many many operators, who are spending days and nights, to serve the affected areas. I am sure all of us will also be there in the future to help ease natural disasters.
Lets keep it up.
As yet we have not felt the torrential rains which were and are still being announced by most media. Yesterday, Supermarkets and gasoline stations were overcrowded and people were making provisions as though a major hurricane was going to hit the island. I, however, am quite optimistic that we will be spared. It's enlightening to see that people are becoming more conscientious as to the disasters brought about by hurricanes. The media are warning the people specially those who live near rivers and falls.
