ARRLWeb: Amateur Radio Responds as Storm Spawn Rash of Tornadoes

"Amateur Radio Responds as Storm Spawn Rash of Tornadoes
NEWINGTON, CT, Nov 16, 2005--

Just weeks after assisting in hurricane relief efforts along the Gulf Coast and in Florida, Amateur Radio volunteers are responding in the wake of yet another weather emergency. Strong thunderstorms resulting from a clash of cold and warm fronts in the nation's midsection spawned tornadoes in several states.

The nearly three dozen twisters reported November 15 in Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, Illinois and Missouri came a little more than a week after tornadoes killed more than 20 people in Indiana and days after another string hit Iowa, resulting in one death.

Some 8000 customers were reported without electrical power in the five affected states, but Kentucky appears to have been the hardest hit. "

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
