Hey folks!  Take a close look at your FM or TV tower following that incredible windstorm!  One of my towers is bent above the last guy line, and may require installation of additional guys to straighten it.

Most of the towers in this region were built to withstand sustained winds of 70 MPH, not the hurricane style winds we had.

A little maintenance now may stave off MAJOR problems later.  Have your engineer take a close look very soon....

That is right. We have received calls for repair / maintenance concerning this very same issue.
