The forecast track of Hurricane Floyd indicates the storm will move between Suitland, MD (our receive site) and the Wallops Island CDA (control and data acquisition). There are currently expectations of having to stow antennas at both locations in the next 24 hours. SOCC is planning to have the readout of the Polar satellites moved to Fairbanks as much as possible. There is a real potential for the loss of GOES data temporarily as the storm moves through the area. Update messages will be transmitted as information becomes available.
