Decision not to do a full-time effort meant that I was not
reliant on the tower to support LF antennas, just as well
given the prediction of high winds. I started with the tower
about 75% of full height and on Saturday evening went
out and wound it further down to about half height.

Got some sleep Saturday night and in the morning found 
the power had been off for about two hours. Highest gust
recorded before the power went off was 76mph, later
on Sunday morning had another gust of 66mph.
