Thunderstorm Monitoring

I was enjoying a pleasant afternoon of monitoring (one of the few I've had lately) when this afternoon's Thunderstorms brewed up. Military Monitoring came to an end when I disconnected the antennas, so I switched to monitoring local public safety using handhelds.

Savannah Fire has worked several structure fires apparently caused by the weather. The most severe was on Varn Street (TG 37040, Fireground 3) where command asked for a second alarm, but only received an engine company due to the rest of Savannah Fire's units being tasked to other responses. Another was on Colonial Street (TG 36912, Admin). Units also responded to the area of Skidaway and DeRenne for downed power lines.

Savannah Chatham Municipal PD responded to reports of street flooding and loose manhole covers throughout the central and western part of Savannah.
