You guys totally one-upped me on these...so thanks for making me feel not so
bad!!! ;)
Still got one site without power...have a generator charging the UPS. When
the generator runs out of fuel, the UPS (SNMP card) e-mails us to tell us it
has about 20 hours on battery for us to get gas into the generator.

Subject: RE: [WISPA] DAY FROM HELL!!!
For us in little old Yakima we have a crumpled and twisted 50 foot tower
that pulled the guy wire support concrete and all about 15 feet clean out
of the ground while the tower was falling. It took six access
points/antennas, of that we saved three of the radios and four of the
antennas but it did hit the power line and the wait was two days for the
power company.
Do get back up we put in a wood pole and remounted all new equipment. We
had the Canopy high end accounts back up in 4 hours and the rest of the
2.4 people up by days end. I had to go up about every 10 hours to change
batteries until the power was back on. We have been blessed with good
weather since the big storm so thank goodness for that. We measured 75
MPH gusts during the storm but of seven towers only had one crash and one
with turned AP antennas.
Then the customers with antennas that spun away from our tower started
coming in. In all we have/are handling about 115 open tickets of which
every staff member will be out in trucks Monday. I had to do Business
Class customers all weekend since they have 24/7 response in their
contract. One thing for sure using tripods or pole mounts are much
better then some of the roof water pipe installs I found this week. Those
always fail first.
