Cuban Amateurs Respond to Severe Tornado — On January 27, radio amateurs in Cuba’s capital of Havana were keeping an eye on the weather. With a low-pressure system in the Gulf of Mexico and cold front approaching, severe weather resulted with conditions that deteriorated during the evening and night hours. An F4 tornado hit Havana, the first tornado ever to hit the city. “Once again, Amateur Radio operators proved how they could handle emergency traffic during the severe weather event, when the 2G and 3G mobile cellular phone systems collapsed due to damage and the excessive traffic generated by the incident,” Radio Havana’s Arnie Coro, CO2KK, reported.
