WWVA Radio Towers Destroyed by High Winds

There is a massive amount of damage after Wednesday's severe storm, that's been classified as a "down burst" by the National Weather Service.

The reason it's massive is because it's so widespread. All three of the legendary WWVA radio towers collapsed because of Wednesday's high wind. This site, just off of Barton Road in Belmont County, has now become a tourist destination. Not just one or two but all three of the towers have collapsed.

Bill Timken, an employee of the wide reaching WWVA couldn't believe it when he pulled up to the site.

"It's something I didn't think I would ever see," said Timken.
