Amateur Radio Braces for Hurricane Isabel

Posted by michael on from the get-a-snorkel dept.

TaxSlave writes "Amateur Radio operators in North Carolina and elsewhere in the projected track of Hurricane Isabel are getting ready for action. ARES has been activated in many areas, and hams are recommended to be ready. NC ARES has an information page for the storm and Hurricane Watch Net has a good info page as well. Even outside the major storm area, hams are posted at shelters which are filling up with storm refugees."

    Nope, 100% pure coincidence.

    Other famous coincidences in the World:

    The USA spends $xxxx Billion liberating Kuwait and Iraq, which coincidentally have a lot of oil. Iraq is to be divided into three distinct regions - regular, premium, unleaded.
