Sorry to reply to my own post, but we service the Macon County Tennessee area that was hardest hit. We have a POP there for dial-up, but have not entered that market with our wireless yet.
Lots of destruction. The tornado set down and traveled 25 miles or more without ever lifting. Base ranged from 100 to 400 yards. Rated at an F2 this morning by whoever rates them. Most power and telephones had been restored as of late last night. Of little importance, none of our equipment was damaged. My heart and prayers to the folks that lost homes and loved ones. I know this type of tornadoes hit the mid west all the time, but we were not prepared to see it hit as hard as it did in Tennessee. Never been that bad here before. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Scottie Arnett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], WISPA General List <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2008 09:22:08 -0600 >Memphis Tennessee, Tuesday: >http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2008/feb/06/tornado-destroyed-two-radio-towers-used-several-st/ > >Main tower hub for communications knocked down. > > >---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Reply-To: WISPA General List <[email protected]> >Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2008 08:53:25 EST > >>I have a question for someone in the 'T' zones. >> >>You see the destructive force of them and how devastating they can be but I >>have never seen/heard of them wiping out a broadcasting tower or a multi >>story >> building.
