[QUOTE="TwoForFlinching, post: 3446990, member: 24500"] Yep, that's our radio tower. Had a late January ice storm in 2010, tower came down and managed to mostly miss the POS building. It wrapped around it. I want to say the ice progressively got thicker, up to three inches near the top. The 50 year old tower wasn't rated for ice, only rated for 60mph winds lol. The ice that came off as the tower fell just stuck in the ground, looked liked Supermans fortress of solitude. There's still two huge sections of tower sticking out of the ground that the crane couldn't pull out. Tried to snooze the alarm this morning, but the sound of crashing limbs tore me out of bed in a frenzy. My neighbor has three big cottonwoods along the fence line. One over my shop, one over my bedroom, the other over the gun room. At least all the limbs have been under four inches so far. Hoping the ice will melt throughout the day. It's back up to 32 in Lawton and raining. [/QUOTE]
