Tornado Topples Tower in Daytona Beach
by Steve Fluker
Daytona Beach, FL - Feb 2, 2007 - In the early morning hours of Feb.  
2, severe storms associated with a passing cold front produced  
powerful tornados that swept across Central Florida killing at least  
20 people and injuring many more. More than 1,000 homes were damaged  
or destroyed in a line that crossed through Sumpter, Lake, and  
Volusia counties. At about 3:45 a.m. an F3 or F4 tornado hit Northern  
Lake County which is the location for the WCFB transmitter site and  
tower. It's obvious from the path and downed trees that this tornado  
passed directly over the 1,500 foot tower, twisting it and bringing  
it down on top of the building.
