[TowerTalk] Wind damage

[Roger (K8RI)]

Echoing Mark's sentiments...Sorry to hear about the tower and antennas 
Don.  All antennas are (and were) down here. They were on sawhorses in 
the back yard, ready to go up as soon as the gin poles are ready. 
However when the wind warnings came out I even took them off the 
sawhorses and put them on the ground. The lightweight sawhorses went in 
the shop while the steel ones stayed out.
