Huge part of an oak broke and fell. Tons.
90 foot Rhon 25G guyed 3 places, 30,60,90. Regular guy wiring big grips and 
 torque struts.
The middle guy, I think. Was back in 1996. Hurricane Fran.
The whole half of the oak fell. Maybe 40 feet.
Not too bad, I sawed it off. Couple climbers came out and pulled the tower  
up straight. Re-tightened the guys.
 
That was in '96 and no lasting problems that I can tell.
