High Winds Knock Down Radio Tower
April 9, 2005
Craig, Colorado High winds ahead of a major storm expected to move in over the weekend knocked down a radio tower Friday, disrupting television and radio stations and police communications in Moffat County. Police communications had to be switched to alternate channels after the tower on the north side of town was blown down about 2 p.m., said Ruth Wade, communications supervisor with the Colorado State Patrol. Wind gusts of up to 80 mph were reported in the area, Wade said. "It is still blowing pretty steady," she said early Friday evening. Crews were repairing the steel, three-legged tower, but Wade did not know when they would finish. The spring storm was expected to drop to 2 feet of snow along the foothills of the Front Range late Saturday night and Sunday. http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news...93/detail.html |
