Floridians--Call Your Relatives

As someone who's helped clean up from major natural disasters, I know that those outside Florida who have relatives down there spend a lot of time wondering if their loved ones made it.

While Charlie is probably no longer an issue and post-Francis recovery is well under way, Ivan may be just around the corner. Push info to the folks outside the Sunshine State if you can. If you can help someone else do the same thing by making the call for them, please think about it. If you're a ham radio operator, your antenna survived, and your phone (including mobile) works, you'd be amazed how many folks up North may be eternally grateful for the commo help...the relay system can be set up fairly quickly and HF transmissions can go quite a ways.

Just a thought.

Wow thanks for the blog roll dude. I sincerely honored.

I stopped by because the swifties are having a rally in DC 9/12/04 and I haven't seen anything at all in the blogosphere. A big turnout would be so lovely. http://www.kerrylied.com/
Maybe you could give it a little PR?

Good advice. Did so, phoned the bro in GA, let him know we're ok. Crossing fingers behind backs about Ivanna, though.
