No damage here. But then, I have a tilt-over at the base, so a couple of turns of two wing nuts and the flagpole is on the ground. 
Of course, I lower the flag first. 🤪

GA folks, 

Hope everyone did okay during Nicole, 
it could have been much worse! 

Just out of curiosity, has anyone who 
has used a flagpole for an antenna, 
suffer any significant storm damage? 
If so, it might be helpful to future users,
to know what are potential trouble spots, 
to know what failed, how and/or why it 
failed, construction details, etc. 

Since the flagpole is such a popular antenna 
here, it would be nice to offer some thoughts
to new users based on the experience of 
others.
