VoIP Hurricane Net Activation for Hurricane Rafael Secured - Wednesday Evening 11/6/24 - 1000 PM ET

rmacedo@... (Rob Macedo) — Wed, 06 Nov 2024 19:24:11 -0800

Hello to all...

The VoIP Hurricane Net activation for Hurricane Rafael secured on Wednesday Evening 11/6/24 at 1000 PM ET and WX4NHC, the Amateur Radio station at the National Hurricane Center secured at that time. Special thanks to KC5FM-Lloyd for net control and technical connection support during the net. Approximately 40 volunteer hours of service was logged by the team.

While no direct Amateur Radio contact with Western Cuba, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman Island was established, through online weather stations and social media work, over 30 reports were generated from the affected area including wind damage, coastal storm surge and rain related flooding. Highest wind gusts were recorded from Mariel, Artemisa Cuba with sustained winds of 81 MPH (130 Kilometers Per Hour) and a gust of 115 MPH (186 Kilometers Per Hour) with a wind gust of 93 MPH in Casablanca Havana Batabano Cuba. Higher end damage reports were a light tower blown down at Artemisa Stadium and damage to Artemisa Hospital. The complete list of reports can be seen in the report viewer at the following link:

https://www.voipwx.net/qilan/nhcwx/list_VOIP_records1?auth=OK

Rafael has an uncertain future over the Gulf of Mexico in terms of both track and intensity but is not expected to threaten land over the next 5 days. The VoIP Hurricane Net management team will closely monitor the progress of Rafael and any other developments in the Tropics. Thanks to all for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
