You can see the hurricaneās path on this ham radio transmission map. The path starts near the Florida panhandle and goes north. Lack of colored pins means lack of reported HF transmissions. Most HF would be for fun so not a surprise to see them missing beyond the obvious power and antenna damage.

This was my favorite book in the elementary school library. I can remember the exact shelf and corner it was it held in. I used to draw that spaceship over and over and bought a copy for myself a couple years ago. Still is amazing!
