Tropical Storm Hanna has developed into Hurricane Hanna. This storm is one that we in the Coastal Georgia and Savannah area must pay attention to in the coming days. The 5 day forecast track is forecasting Hanna to come ashore in the Savannah area.
A look at the computer models shows that the models are getting close in their forecast tracks (See below). 4 of the 6 models are currently forecasting Hanna to move toward the Savannah and Charleston areas.
We should certainly be following this storm closely and not let Gustav divert too much of our attention and efforts from it. As the week moves on, keep a close watch on weather reports. Amateur Radio Operators should keep an ear on local nets such and monitor repeaters such as the 146.700, 146.745 (97.4 tone), and 146.970 for possible emergency information and operations.
