"Indiana Tornado 'Like a Thief in the Night,'
Ham Radio Volunteer Says

NEWINGTON, CT, Nov 11, 2005--

Amateur Radio volunteers continue to assist relief and recovery efforts in the wake of a November 6 tornado that left 22 people dead and hundreds injured.

The twister, an F3 on the Fujita scale with winds of up to 200 MPH, originated within a line of thunderstorms that struck the region during the early morning hours.

It cut a more than 40-mile swath through part of Kentucky and extreme southwestern Indiana, wiping out a section of a trailer park in Vanderburgh County where 18 of the fatalities occurred. "

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.
