Storm U/D: Windsor looks the worst so far, extensive damage and numerous homes will need to be searched, sector command posts being established and USAR teams requested.

60,000+ w/o in Windsor at this point. Main street is a mess with downed trees and power poles. Best access to town maybe CO 257. Also unconfirmed reports of a body in a field south of town. Rumor has it HAMS have a net going about this..anyone know the frequency they are on or using?

 

[captaincraig44]

Listen to them on 145.115 67.0 PL. Assisting with EOC's and assisting with comms and coordination.
