Reply #13: Half inch in the last 30 minutes! [View All]

Over 2 inches in the gage now. Pouring and roaring. Scary, but no thunder and lightning yet.

I disconnected all the ham radio gear. I set up a 2-meter portable antenna and have my 2-meter HT on charge. I can hit at least three VHF/UHF repeaters from here in the wilds, even with the HT on low-power. That is the life-line.

It is such a good communications system here in the NC mountains (I can occasionally talk to Atlanta on 2-meters; always to Greenville, Anderson, and Brevard), that Mrs/Dr DemoTex is going to get here technicians license (for VHF/UHF phone priviledges).
