I see where the town where Texas had floods and people died, they have installed flooding early warning devices. I had built my own over the winter, and I am adding several more devices at key flood areas on our property to warn us when to move our cars, when to get things out of the yard and from the sheds, etc. My guess is that the ones in Texas are pretty expensive. I can do it for just a few bucks a device by using repurposed 4x4 vinyl fence posts, very cheap float switches, and an Arduino I wrote my own firmware for. I would like to see about installing a few around the island at different key areas so that others could benefit from an early warning system without having to break the bank for the devices. #arduino #raspberrypi #iot #weather #emergencies

I cant believe it! This Saturday will be my 10th edition of the "Prog Rock Hour" on Radio Hatteras (07/25/2026 8pm EDT and again at Midnight) If you are on the island, you can tune in on FM radio at 99.9 on the FM dial for the Tri-Villages and 101.5 on the FM dial for Avon/Buxton/Frisco/Hatteras. You can also tune in via streaming on our free app or from the web here: https://www.radiohatteras.org/listen-live Make sure you tune in to the "Guess the Band" segment. I doubt many will know who the mystery singer is. Below is the intro blurb I start out with on the show: My name is Brian Wharton and I'll be your guide to tonight's journey through progressive music -- the sounds that push beyond the ordinary. Tonight, we have a general mix of music across classic and modern progressive rock. #progrock #progressivemusic #genesis #rush #yes #progressivemusic
