    A piece of equipment was damaged by lightning. It is not safe to climb the tower until the storm passes, so we have our tower crew scheduled to come out first thing on the morning to perform the repairs. The incident is isolated to this one tower, and only 30% of the customers on the tower are experiencing an issue.
