There are also three larger photos of the damage at www.vartv.com.
No one was hurt as the tower came down on Friday March 2nd between 6 and 7am. 

The failure of the structure came as a result of serve weather that blew 
through Currituck County NC [tornado watches were posted for that area from the 
wee hours of the morning until 11 am that day]

The station is still on the air from its current analog site near Powells 
Point......but there will be a bit of a delay signing on WSKY HDTV 4
