Tornado damage to legendary KOMA tower array

Posted date: April 07, 2015in: NewsNo Comments

Damaged KOMA-AM towers (now KOKC) after the March 25, 2015 tornado. A close-up view of the standing tower’s damage. Engineers deemed the tower too dangerous to climb so it was cut loose and allowed to fall on April 4th. These towers carried KOMA’s 50,000 watt signal to 23 states and 5 continents since 1947.
