This morning I found out that the same storm had pulled my microwave dish from its mounting. It was laying flat on the roof, pointing upward. It durn-near yanked the trim off of my house when it happened, as it was is tore up a fascia pretty good. I had noticed that my Internet service wasn't working and I figured that it got knocked out at the tower (it's happened before during monsoons) but in this case it was at my end.
One of these days I need to find a used ham radio tower to put up and then I'll put the micro-dish directly on that.
