FYI, [here is] a nice “thank you” from the American Red Cross:
—
Gentlemen,
It looks like we had minimal residential damage from TS Henri.
Red Cross is in the process of closing shelters as the flood watches and warnings are expiring.
With that, Red Cross is Standing Down the AREA activation request.
If you are aware of any storm related damage, please let me know. Please ask the hams that check into this evening’s nets and on the alert groups.
I thank the Amateur Radio Emergency Service and SKYWARN for the hams’ support of the American Red Cross Disaster Response to Tropical Storm Henri. Amateur radio’s support of the humanitarian response to help our neighbors is greatly appreciated.
Please pass on Red Cross thanks to the hams that are on the nets and you Alert groups.
Stay Well!
Rosty
