[AusNOG] Vocus Hazard Notice - Hawaii Tropical Storms

[Bevan Slattery]

I love seeing these types of notices.  They show an operator being transparent and prepared.

Reading Facebook posts Guam had a typhoon last week also.  It is the season and they almost never have impact, but they can be a risk particularly with the severity.

If only there was a forecast of idiots with backhoes :)
