Due to having to work tuesday evening, I need some one to be net control for this week's net. This would be a good time to try net control and gain some experience.

please don't let net go uncalled due to not trying something new, this net affect a wide area and all of us.

This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to let me know and I will provide a net script to guide you thru, I don't look for professional level prefer a net that get's the job done .

The practice nets each week it to work and gain experence

Just got home from annual skywarn class enjoyed the good turnout. I included a link to get get spotter card in the link section.

March starts our severe storm season now it the time to get prepared.

Looking to have everyone be able to do the net control position, you don't have to be perfect to get the job done, mistakes will happen just deal with it when it happens. the most important thing is getting spotter reports to Morristown, Local spotters have been responsible for some of the warning that have been issued.

Here is a link to get spotter card

Let's make this a better year for our local group

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is a 1 to 5 categorization based on the hurricane's intensity at the indicated time. The scale provides examples of the type of damages and impacts in the United States associated with winds of the indicated intensity.
In general, damages rise by about a factor of four for every category increase. The maximum sustained surface wind speed (peak 1-minute wind at 10 m [33 ft]) is the determining factor in the scale. The historical examples (one for the U.S. Gulf Coast and one for the U.S. Atlantic Coast) provided in each of the categories correspond with the intensity of the hurricane at the time of landfall in the location experiencing the strongest winds, which does not necessarily correspond with the peak intensity reached by the system during its lifetime.
The scale does not address the potential for such other hurricane-related impacts, as storm surge, rainfall-induced floods, and tornadoes. These wind-caused impacts are to apply to the worst winds reaching the coast and the damage would be less elsewhere. It should also be noted that the general wind-caused damage descriptions are to some degree dependent upon the local building codes in effect and how well and how long they have been enforced.
For example, recently enacted building codes in Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina are likely to somewhat reduce the damage to newer structures from that described below. However, for a long time to come, the majority of the building stock in existence on the coast will not have been built to higher code. Hurricane wind damage is also dependent upon such other factors as duration of high winds, change of wind direction, amount of accompanying rainfall, and age of structures.
