Tower Falls with some nasty results

One of our Luzerne County ARES and Murgas ARC members sent me these photos from April 15th.

A tower fell in his area and landed on power lines. The power back fed into the building and set it on fire.

We've all read the warnings. Be careful where you place your tower....

 

That’s very scary.

Glad I have underground service.

 

As one fellow put it - that is one magnificent ouch!

 

That is an understatement!

 

I imagine there will be some discussion with the homeowner's insurance company - wouldn't want to be involved in that discussion...

 

I have not heard from KC3EPX who provided the photos but.... I am sure that the discussions will be intense.

 

I have no doubt over that. Hope he has good homeowner's policy.
