Links to a few photos of the downed WWVA towers:
- Aerial photo shot by Dinny Walford from the Ohio Valley Flight Academy.
- WWVA.com story on the tower collapse, including shots of what it looked like before they came down...
- Photo gallery on the WWVA.com website.
At this time (Friday evening) WWVA is reported back on the air, with a temporary antenna and at 5,000 watts.
Tour of WWVA on Scott Fybush's site.
