The West Island Weather Station KA1WBH is prepared for yet another Atlantic Hurricane Season. This station is one of the most vulnerable on the southern exposure to hurricanes and tropical storms along the Massachusetts coast. WIWS is designed to withstand a terrible pounding but is not invulnerable. Being located at the front "battle line" WIWS will likely be the first to go down. "Rest assured multiple redundant state of the art systems are in place to stay on line hopefully right through the entire event. Our fatal adversary is a direct hit lightning strike. You can be grounded all the way to China and lightning can still take you out." Stated Skywarn Spotter M.L.Baron
