[WISPA] Tower down

(Indiana) Communications tower falls on Bloomington elementary school. On 
October 26, a communications tower next to a Bloomington, Indiana school 
fell on top of the building as a result of a round of strong storms and high 
winds. It happened at Lakeview Elementary on Strain Ridge Road. No one was 
hurt and the school said the building only sustained minor damage to the 
roof. The students were in tornado mode at the time due to a warning 
issued by the National Weather Service. Witnesses said they heard a loud 
bang, like thunder, when the tower hit the building.

Glad no one was hurt.

Glad we don't have to contend with that although our main tower site has some 
of the highest sustained windspeeds anywhere.
