[ARES-SE] Southeast ARES participation in TS Edouard event

[larry meek]

George,
I spent a couple of hours monday evening at the Laporte eoc station wx5lp with mike ka5cvh. nothing was going on in the eoc at that time. I was told by my boss not to come to work tues. but wound up getting called out to work any way so did not participate in the activities tuesday am. I did however, participate in the storm and could have wound up in a wreck when i was going up the scarborough on ramp to hiway 225. A ford p/u  came by me going round and round in circles and crossed in front of me going backwards into the grass. lucky no one was hurt. i guess he hit a patch of water and lost it.
73,
larry wa5tnr

I want to thank everyone for all of their work and support concerning the Tropical Storm Edouard.
 
As part of my monthly report I need to know how much time you spent working this event.  Please let me know what served agency you supported and how many hours you spent.  I would also like a brief description of what you did.
 
My involvement was primarily at Transtar.  I was called to come into Transtar around midday on Monday.  I arrived at Transtar by 8:30 PM and stayed until 6:00 AM the following morning.  I went home and got 6 hours of sleep before getting back on the JSC repeater and checking for damage reports.
 
If you have any lessons learned then this would be a good opportunity to document those.  I will be compiling a list of lessons learned from our Southeast unit and presenting them to the ARES management.
 
Did anyone hear the hourly message on 147.000 MHz?  An information announcement was made every hour on the hour.  This will probably be the same practice used in the future.
