I've noticed that you've not posted here bragging
about that P.O.S. tower of yours still standing.

I wonder if your silence means Katrina got you?

Enquiring minds want to know

Since he lives about 190 miles NNE of NO my guess is that not only is
the TOWER OF UNION MS down, but he lost the trees that were attempting
to hold the TOU up. He is most likely out of electricity and telephone
(internet connection) lines.

If he suffered any damages I do hope for his recovery.

The storm was quite strong even in central MS, probably still category 1
there. Many even "built-by-the-book" towers would be destroyed from there
south, especially if trees fell across the guy wires.

Here in northeast MS (Starkville) Katrina was at strong tropical
storm strength. Several trees in my yard were blown over. Fortunately
my two towers (100',70') survived and the only damage was some
bent/broken 15m yagi elements from flying tree branches.

Lets not berate the man until it is determined whether he is off the air
due to embarrassment or to downed power and phone lines. Remember that
much of the state is out of power.

The winds I'm sure were stronger than that.

Note the station stopped recording (broken?) at 1pm. They probably saw
much higher wind speeds. Even up at Tupelo (substitute KTUP in above URL)
there was a gust of 53 mph recorded. Also try Birmingham BHM, which is
quite a ways to the east.

Charlie;

Congratulations on surviving Katrina. Glad to see your tower is still up
and functioning. New pictures can't be beat.

Figured you were out of power and phone, didn't know about the water.
(Are you on a well?).

Frustration is no excuse for the language though.
