[OKDXA] Ice

[K5TT]

The ice storm has been devastating here.  Probably 75
trees damaged; half will have to be cut down.  Some
are 100 years old.  Power has been off all day; no
news on getting it back.  Using the RV generator now
with a cell link to the internet.

2 ele 40 meter beam and 4 ele SteppIR have survived so
far.  I don't know how.  The elements are bent almost
vertical.  All wire antennas are down.  Tree fell on
one set of guys damaging the anchor but tower seems
okay.  I hope they make it through the night.

I imagine others (N5OK) have damage but do not have
power or internet.  I think they said 200,000 without
power.
