Monitoring the Storm

The city of Savannah, the eastside in particular is weathering a storm this evening. Heavy rain and lightning have been around for several hours, flooding streets in the east and central parts of Savannah. Power has also gone out in various areas.

I have disconnected the monitoring post from the outside antennas and have connected one of my homemade Grove flextennas to the BC 785 and am using the Pro-95 and BC 396 to monitor public safety and government communications. I'm also using the FT-8800 in the car to crossband into the 146.970 repeater

Police and Fire units are reporting many flooded streets in the usual areas of Savannah and Thunderbolt. A funnel cloud was also reported over Metro Fire Dispatch at one point. The forecast calls for continued heavy rain for the next few hours, so I'll continue monitoring...
