My fellow #hamradio peeps: please don't be the jerks who are berating unlicensed folks asking for help with severe weather events. In the US, part97 is pretty clear that if it's an emergency, all bets are off. Same with part47, part 95, etc.

Help others, and after they're safe, put out an offering to help them learn the hobby.

Tl;Dr : don't be jerks.
