Last March, we had a horrific sleet/ice/snow storm (complete with thunder at times) that was a windy/wet/slippery mess, and was powerful enough to take down a 2,000 foot tall TV tower out in one of the local Bum Egypt small towns around here.
It was made clear on multiple newscasts that it would take a long time to rebuild the tower. They needed people to be patient, blah blah.
It's finally done. But, ever since the day it came down, ANY time the local news has links on FB, some yokel local has to go "Blargle! Is the tower fixed yet? I only have 3 channels and can't get the news!" and "Wahhhh get that tower fixed, I need to watch the news!"
Not even exaggerating. There could be breaking news about a car accident or home robbery, and someone would chime in "Is the tower up yet?! I live in *smalltownof5people* and I need to watch the news!"
