“Like we told you then, we didn’t know who it was. But a guy who runs IT for Whirlpool got a ham radio working along with some handheld radios. We set up some repeaters to extend our range and started communicating with other townships in the area. Same story, different day. None of us had the numbers to defend against a group that size, but together we did. So we formed the Community Alliance. Not a creative name, I know, but it works. We’re five local towns working together, committed to defend and protect each other.”
