People are setting up Meshtastic nodes in Florida in anticipation of hurricanes.

I haven't noticed any coordinated nets around me, but it seems like it could be something good to have a weekly check in to get people used to using the system in a coordinated fashion.

A lot of people are amateur radio operators, so it wouldn't be hard to establish with some notice on the 0 channel.

So, one week later, I heard today is indeed the final day of NOAA 15 (an automatic station in the US has only just now returned dead air).

One last APT recording, then - 19-8-2025 9.52.56.

I have packed the antenna away. Those of a more poetic disposition might care to read my final thoughts here - https://open-weather.community/archive/ow3241/

Erin is weaker but larger today. As the wind field continues to expand and Erin reintensifies, look for significant impacts on the East Coast from rip currents and rough surf. Also: what have the social media purveyors of "fear porn" move on to now?

Alarmed by what some models are showing 14-16 days out? Don't be. While we are empathetic to people getting a little unnerved when they see bad things in that timeframe, those runs, even if 2 or 3 in a row show something similar, are somewhat meaningless. Move along, folks, nothing to see here. Yet.

Tropical Storm Dexter is sloppy this morning but continues to head out to sea. An area just off the Carolinas now has a 40 percent chance of developing, and it will likely be a heavy rain, rip current, and tidal flooding risk. Deeper in the Atlantic, nothing looks overly concerning, but we continue to see signs of life and development chances in the future.
