I loved it there. Property, house, family, and I lived through a few hurricanes in the years we were there too. Going to be back in the area in April for a few days. I will hit up the repeater and see who is monitoring.

That is a good question. I have been involved with EmCom/EmComm for two decades. I have seen it both ways. FEMA has listed it both ways too.
