The National Weather Service has just issued a Hurricane
Warning for the North Carolina Outer Banks - from Cape
Lookout to Oregon Inlet, including the Pamlico Sound.
The warning means that hurricane conditions are expected
within the warning area during the next 24 hours. Alex
has increased wind speeds, reported sustained at 70 mph.
(74 is a Hurricane) The storm currently traveling
NE/10MPH is expected to brush the coast of North
Carolina Tuesday early morning, then targeting the Outer
Banks in the afternoon. It is expected to be Hurricane
Strength by late Tuesday morning.
An email from Julio WD4R indicates that they plan to man
WX4NHC around 12 noon to begin taking formal reports at
the Hurricane Center.
I expect we will be activating the VoIP net sometime mid morning on
8/3/2004.
