The coax you see in this photo was pulled loose by and EF3 tornado that came through on January 24th 2023. The winds overturned trains on the tracks next door.
This is our 7/8 hard line that goes into the building. Waiting on the new new feed line to be connected to this end and to the antenna.
Another shot of the hard line. Tower crew had to climb down and come back the next day due to high winds and rain.
This is our repeater antenna - its a Diamond X710HNA
Storm track from Jan 24th 2023 tornado
When the tower climbers went up the weather was clear and it looked good on the radar. An hour later it was raining hard and windy. Gotta love Texas weather!
