<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>A lot of Hemlock needles to sweep up. Before
the blow I took 2 of the 3 sash weights off the end of my doublet wire
rope....good thing too, with the trees blowing wildly the remaining sash would
swing about 12ft up and then down to smack in the mud. That doublet would have
broke like a 10 yr old high e string on Steve Vai's guitar.</FONT></DIV>

around the corner.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So what kind of damage did everyone see from this
latest storm?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I lost my 10 meter beam, FM broadcast yagi, 6
meter vertical and I took down the radio shack scanner antenna because it was
endangering the 2/440 Vertical. I can replace it later.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Luckily when 4' tripod blew over it
landed against the pine tree branches, which acted as a cushion. The only
antenna that is probably destroyed is the FM Yagi. Everything else I managed
to salvage and should be able to re-mount at some point.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I almost blew off the roof when I went up to
untangle everything! I probably should have waited till after the storm but I
wanted to minimize the damage and get everything takien apart before it fell
down completely. Bob you will be amused to know that the ladder blew down
while I was on the roof, so I had to wait for my dad to come home. Luckily he
only went out to get the paper.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>What a pain in the ass!</FONT></DIV>
