A Board With A Heartbeat

[azskyman]

Hurricane Charley's erratic wobbles were almost "visible" in real time on Storm2k as members and visitors shared messages and voiced their opinions. During the most intense time of that storm there seemed to be pinpoint focus in "near real time" on the hurricane thread, and in ways that only a true open forum could be, Storm2k held up to those violent winds in some steadfast ways.

I am SO proud of the work and commitment of those who have brought this concoction of folks together. While watching TWC has always been a staple when storms like Charley make landfall, I must admit that I now believe the heartbeat of Storm2k is an equally important source of near-real time information.

Hats off again to the founders and moderators for providing such a useful conduit for our own rapid heartbeats to pass through.

And now that THIS storm has passed, Storm2k is still reaching out to help others in need. What a wonderful and inspiring commentary that is on each and every member! Thanks each and every one of you!

I am SO happy that the bumps and bruises of the upgrade and repairs were done just in time for Storm2k to reveal it really does have a heartbeat!

I second that - S2K was much better than all the networks combined and 'that other MB', where I did go a few times just to see if it had a pulse again (LOL!) and it did, but it didn't have the S2K feel. So I hurried back over here.

We definitely have a pulse.

As usual Steve your bang on with your observations.

I was so upset when I could not get online and all I had was TV. I felt like a part of me had been cut off. ..
