Slightly off Topic.. but with the loss of at least 2 Towers, and 1 
transmitter building in the last week, I wanted to see if anyone knew if 
any Amateur Radio Repeaters had fallen victim to the recent events.

if you are not aware. KETV In Omaha lost it's 1205ft tower on july 4th; and 
within the past week WIFR-TV in Rockford lost it's 731ft tower. and last 
night reports that over 100mph winds pounded the memphis area, and a 
lightning strike set fire to the WMXX/KTNV tower site near Jackson, TN



Thanks for your time,
