Default Hurricane Matthew

I wonder if wa8yxm (John) is OK. He is parked right in the thick of the hurricane with no way to leave (blown engine). He is in an RV park near Townsend GA, about 1/2 way between Brunswick and Savannah GA just a little west of I-95. I would imagine he got hit pretty hard and most likely was in a mandatory evacuation area. I was just at a local club meeting this evening and one of the members was called to a emergency communication center somewhere near Savannah, I didn't catch the name of the town but he said he set up the center about 10 years ago and then moved away and they called him for help because they didn't know how to use any of the equipment (sad). He said the person in charge was getting 6 figures in pay and didn't know a damn thing. In the heat of the storm all power and water was shut off. They got a call for someone that was having a heart attack and they didn't know how to handle it. He said they had updated equipment but it was not usable because it wasn't set up. It's not like they didn't know the storm was coming. No preparedness.
