Somebody cut guy wires on a 450' Mobile Phone of Texas tower, which collapsed, and the 1000' KFDX TV tower, which is still standing.
The collapsed tower was home to NOAA Weather Radio station WXK31 and the 147.140 N5WF ham repeater.

The video in this article is slightly misleading. It was shot from the highway in front of the collapsed tower but shows another tower that is about 3/4 mile to the east. KFDX is about two miles further to the east.
