Most Airport Control Towers

#3 Postby Aslkahuna » Fri Apr 09, 2004 6:49 pm

are built to withstand winds in the 85-100kt range so once the tower was abandoned due to high winds the airport would have been closed-also, they probably lost power as as well. Once the airport is closed, weather observations are usually no longer sent out if it's a civilian airport.

I figured it had something to do with a loss of power and/or an evacuation.
