Seems to be fellas that this most likely wasn't a failure of the tower but more like Mother Nature doing her thing.  Maybe if the guy wires were installed differently maybe nothing would have happened but then again, more than likely, something else would have been damaged.  The system described most likely wouldn't have been rated much above the normal 70 mph design factors.  Phil  KB9CRY (who has a HBDX56 footer up but with only an 8 ft boom F12 WARC beam on top.)
