Re: Topband: W3LPL station

[Mark K3MSB]

I live about 50 miles northeast of Frank's QTH.My family was away for a
few days and I was coming home just after lunch to take care of the
critters, and I saw those thunder cells SW of me as I drove home.I
remember thinking man those things look really ugly -- very, very dark
clouds.

I'm glad Frank and family are OK.   Antennas can be replaced;  people can't.

Oh yeah, way worse.

Look at his property from Google Earth and see how the tornado threaded a
needle to only take down the one tower and that line of trees.

Didn't hit his house. Only took down one tower. Nobody was hurt.

Oh yeah, could have been way worse.

Frank's tower and Frank are shown about a minute into this video.

It could have been a lot worse.

Topband: W3LPL station

[Art Snapper]

I am sad to pass along a report that Frank's station took a hit from an EF0
tornado. There was some tower damage. Hopefully there was minimal damage to
the rest of the property.
