   they'd survived the winds and the floodwaters - as many looked for   
   loved ones and sought help. Later, Dan K2DMG, who is part of Iredell   
   County Emergency Communications, stepped in to relieve Lynn as net   
   control as Lynn went to assess damages at his own home. Dan was able to   
   pass emergency traffic until he found himself on the road to Florida   
   where his parents were awaiting the arrival of Hurricane Milton. At   
   that point, Vicki AD3I got on the air to help coordinate volunteers and   
   resources.   
      
   The repeater, however, passed more than traffic and reassurance during   
   the two weeks of rescue and recovery. During moments when the repeater   
   was less active, Lynn read a poem that his wife had found posted on   
   Facebook, written by a North Carolina woman named Elizabeth Greene   
   Silvers. With that poem, the repeater now transmitted hope to a   
   devastated community. These words are a part of that affirmation   
   -[quote]: "Yet we still rise, with mountains high, for in these hills,   
   our spirits fly." [endquote]   
      
   The full poem, posted October 6th, can be seen on the Facebook page of   
   Elizabeth Greene Silvers.
