It took us a little over a week to dismantle the fallen tower. Most of it will be hauled to the scrap metal yard. Howie still has 3 other radio towers still standing. This tower fell into guy wires of one of the other towers, causing it to lean. He had to climb up the leaning tower to attach a new wire. It was pretty scary watching that. Get another hobby? Naw, rebuilding has started!

WOW! Thanks for showing this! Crazy what wind can do. Good luck with the rebuild!

Holy cow!!! Glad nobody was hurt though! Good luck re-building!
Oh my gosh...I am so glad that you are safe. That was quite a wind!!!!
So glad that it didn't take your house (the wind or the tower)!
Oh my gosh -- glad no one was hurt... maybe he'd like to take up um... fly fishing for a hobby? Impressive amount of work; best wishes w/ it!
