I would say a much stronger gust brought the tower down. We get winds of 50
mph here but get very localized microburst's of 80 mph plus sometimes, I
would be thinking something like that happened. The news reports never get
the real details.

Check out what happened in Denton County, Texas this week. I don't know
whether to recommend this manufacturer for how it fell, or not to recommend
them because it fell at 60mph, when it was rated for 125..
