Also glad you didn’t have much damage from Isaias. We have some power outages in NJ but nothing as bad as Irene or Sandy. Saw some high winds, trees down. Some roads blocked. Internet and cell service flashed on and off but I’m still online here. No station damage, but it is built for high winds here anyway.

Bill, I am glad to learn that you made it through Isaias in as good of shape as can be expected. Your report of lost power and internet sounds like every other day at the home in Accokeek, MD <G>
I rode out the storm from home overnight with 50-60 MPH winds and five inches of rain. For the first time in my memory I did not lose power or internet during a storm… As the storm moved off about noontime today, all of my antennas were still up and working. Much flooding in the area. We were very lucky on this one…

Update from Wilmington, NC. 86,000 without power, including me. Internet down. Cell service is spotty. Moderate tree damage. Radiating element of my dipole ripped out of balun when tree swayed. No shelters were opened due to Covid. ThankFully no tidal storm surge into house but salt water came into yard. Those compromised were sent to hospital or hotels specially equipped. Helicopters doing damage reconnaissance. Personally Ok

Just FYI….this came to my attention last evening. We are keeping an eye on the situation and are in communication with the appropriate Sections.
HQ Emergency Response Team keeping an eye on Isaias.
On Sunday ARRL Assistant Emergency Preparedness Manager Ken Bailey K1FUG sent an email to all ARRL sections expected to be impacted by hurricane Isaias. The following sections replied; SFL, GA, NC, SC, NH, EMA, and WMA. There were no requests for equipment because HQ has prepositioned Ham-Aid kits in ARRL sections routinely subjected to tropical storms and hurricanes. Some of the responding sections provided situation reports (sitreps). All sections that replied indicated that the potential for a communication emergency exists and Emergency Operations Plans were being implemented.
At the time of this report, the following sections have not reported; VA, MD, DE, EPA, NLI, RI or ME.
