We have Hurricane Matthew coming up the cost, and now its forecast to
probably touch land fall as a Category 3 right in the Treasure Coast area,
and we are right in the middle of that.  Praying that it just skirts the
cost and not a full landfall.  We have 39 towers that are vulnerable.  We
have done all the prep possible and are unplugging everything before it
hits.

 

We have recovered from 3 hurricanes previously and it's very hard and
stressful.

 

We appreciate the thoughts and prayers

FPL is estimating close to 2 million people will lose power in this event.  
Trying to stay positive, but this looks nasty.   Definitely will be worse than 
the 2 that hit us directly in 2004.  



We are riding it out in a CBS house with good roof with my mother and 
sisters, about 10 miles inland.  We are in a metal building, so I am going to 
shut things down here soon and take the servers and critical machines with me.

  Paul, out of curiosity, what at you unplugging?  Powering equipment down?  
Unplugging Cat5 cables from surge suppressors so the radios are floating?  
Leaving radios plugged into surge suppressors but unplugging the patch cables 
to other equipment?  If you are unplugging radios, is the shield of the Cat5 
still grounded?  Do you have prior experience with what works in this situation?

  Paul and to any other WISP's who might be affected on this list;

   

  In the position as President of WECAT I would like to offer some up front 
assistance. WECAT tried to helps WISP's devastated by emergencies beyond their 
normal ability to recover from problems or losses. We stand ready to assist in 
the role of mobilizing resources to help. That being said we do not try to rush 
to assist in the way a fire department would. A good assessment by the WISP of 
the damages they have taken and a plan of recovery as best possible would be a 
good thought process while you ride out the storm. Of specific not would be 
things that are not going to be covered by insurance, specific equipment needs 
and such. We have been trying to avoid people shipping a lot of equipment that 
would end up not being used and taking up space. Manpower needs would be good 
to know as well and what type of manpower would be best for you. Logistics for 
those people is also key. Where can they be housed, fed and the like. How far 
away can fuel be made available and such. Good methods of contacting the 
affected WISP is also crucial especially if communications systems have been 
damaged or become unreliable. A trusted person outside the damage area as a key 
point of contact might be the best for a while. Don't forget your local ham 
radio operators if you really need to get some messages in and out of the area 
when all else fails.

   

  WECAT usually likes to wait a day or two to let the WISP do their assessment 
and they plan to assist once that is done. There have been quite a few 
occasions where after a day or two the WISP ended up being able to cope on 
their own or with the help of a close neighbor WISP. I really hope there is no 
need for something like this but we stand ready to help if necessary.

   

  Please feel free to call in advance if you want to learn more before the 
storm hits. Always available to help.

   

  Thank You,

  Brian Webster President  - WECAT

  Subject: [AFMUG] Please keep us in your prayers guys!

   

  We have Hurricane Matthew coming up the cost, and now its forecast to 
probably touch land fall as a Category 3 right in the Treasure Coast area, and 
we are right in the middle of that.  Praying that it just skirts the cost and 
not a full landfall.  We have 39 towers that are vulnerable.  We have done all 
the prep possible and are unplugging everything before it hits.

   

  We have recovered from 3 hurricanes previously and it's very hard and 
stressful.

   

  We appreciate the thoughts and prayers

FPL is estimating close to 2 million people will lose power in this event.  
Trying to stay positive, but this looks nasty.   Definitely will be worse than 
the 2 that hit us directly in 2004.

We are riding it out in a CBS house with good roof with my mother and sisters, 
about 10 miles inland.  We are in a metal building, so I am going to shut 
things down here soon and take the servers and critical machines with me.

parallel the “space coast”, predicting Georgia won’t get the 140 mph winds but 
will see storm surge.  Gov. Scott saying unequivocally evacuate now, also the 
east coast of FL will, not may, lose power.

2016-10-05 Thread Paul McCall 
Ken,

What we found from the 3 hurricanes that we went through, is that there is very 
little lightning type damage, almost none.  Mostly surges and brownouts from 
the power grid.  So, simply disconnecting AC power and pulling fuses on battery 
outputs did the trick.

In 2004, we lost 3 Rohn towers, and we developed our own anti-twist system and 
all our towers have them.  We have 17 Rohn 25G or 45G in the air of 120 to 150 
feet and a couple 190s that we inherited.  However, a slowing moving Cat 3 or 4 
that sits and churns could do lots of damage at loosing things up.  Our 
experience is that 80+ MPH sustained will loosen BH's, so there will be a lot 
of re-establishing the core from the inside out, so to speak.

We did emails and Robocalls telling customers to UNPLUG everything and not plug 
back in until they send us pictures of their equipment.  Upside radios / dishes 
full of water are a bad thing

Paul and to any other WISP's who might be affected on this list;

In the position as President of WECAT I would like to offer some up front 
assistance. WECAT tried to helps WISP's devastated by emergencies beyond their 
normal ability to recover from problems or losses. We stand ready to assist in 
the role of mobilizing resources to help. That being said we do not try to rush 
to assist in the way a fire department would. A good assessment by the WISP of 
the damages they have taken and a plan of recovery as best possible would be a 
good thought process while you ride out the storm. Of specific not would be 
things that are not going to be covered by insurance, specific equipment needs 
and such. We have been trying to avoid people shipping a lot of equipment that 
would end up not being used and taking up space. Manpower needs would be good 
to know as well and what type of manpower would be best for you. Logistics for 
those people is also key. Where can they be housed, fed and the like. How far 
away can fuel be made available and such. Good methods of contacting the 
affected WISP is also crucial especially if communications systems have been 
damaged or become unreliable. A trusted person outside the damage area as a key 
point of contact might be the best for a while. Don't forget your local ham 
radio operators if you really need to get some messages in and out of the area 
when all else fails.

WECAT usually likes to wait a day or two to let the WISP do their assessment 
and they plan to assist once that is done. There have been quite a few 
occasions where after a day or two the WISP ended up being able to cope on 
their own or with the help of a close neighbor WISP. I really hope there is no 
need for something like this but we stand ready to help if necessary.

Please feel free to call in advance if you want to learn more before the storm 
hits. Always available to help.

We have Hurricane Matthew coming up the cost, and now its forecast to probably 
touch land fall as a Category 3 right in the Treasure Coast area, and we are 
right in the middle of that.  Praying that it just skirts the cost and not a 
full landfall.  We have 39 towers that are vulnerable.  We have done all the 
prep possible and are unplugging everything before it hits.

We have recovered from 3 hurricanes previously and it's very hard and stressful.

Paul, out of curiosity, what at you unplugging?  Powering equipment down?
Unplugging Cat5 cables from surge suppressors so the radios are floating?
Leaving radios plugged into surge suppressors but unplugging the patch
cables to other equipment?  If you are unplugging radios, is the shield of

That's good to know Brian.  And, yes, the logistics assessment is key, which
does take a couple days usually.

 

Our assessment will likely begin Saturday and last throughout the weekend.

Paul and to any other WISP's who might be affected on this list;

 

In the position as President of WECAT I would like to offer some up front
assistance. WECAT tried to helps WISP's devastated by emergencies beyond
their normal ability to recover from problems or losses. We stand ready to
assist in the role of mobilizing resources to help. That being said we do
not try to rush to assist in the way a fire department would. A good
assessment by the WISP of the damages they have taken and a plan of recovery
as best possible would be a good thought process while you ride out the
storm. Of specific not would be things that are not going to be covered by
insurance, specific equipment needs and such. We have been trying to avoid
people shipping a lot of equipment that would end up not being used and
taking up space. Manpower needs would be good to know as well and what type
of manpower would be best for you. Logistics for those people is also key.
Where can they be housed, fed and the like. How far away can fuel be made
available and such. Good methods of contacting the affected WISP is also
crucial especially if communications systems have been damaged or become
unreliable. A trusted person outside the damage area as a key point of
contact might be the best for a while. Don't forget your local ham radio
operators if you really need to get some messages in and out of the area
when all else fails.

 

WECAT usually likes to wait a day or two to let the WISP do their assessment
and they plan to assist once that is done. There have been quite a few
occasions where after a day or two the WISP ended up being able to cope on
their own or with the help of a close neighbor WISP. I really hope there is
no need for something like this but we stand ready to help if necessary.

 

Please feel free to call in advance if you want to learn more before the
storm hits. Always available to help.

 

Thank You,

Brian Webster President  - WECAT

We have Hurricane Matthew coming up the cost, and now its forecast to
probably touch land fall as a Category 3 right in the Treasure Coast area,
and we are right in the middle of that.  Praying that it just skirts the
cost and not a full landfall.  We have 39 towers that are vulnerable.  We
have done all the prep possible and are unplugging everything before it
hits.

 

We have recovered from 3 hurricanes previously and it's very hard and
stressful.
