KLMR(AM/FM) were pushed off the air Saturday, July 23 after a microburst hit the station’s building and ripped off half of the roof. The National Weather Service describes a microburst as “a localized column of sinking air (downdraft) within a thunderstorm.” NWS says this natural phenomenon can cause extensive damage at the surface with wind speeds reaching up to 100 mph.
The FM is a 100 kW signal on 93.5 MHz. The AM station is on 920 kHz with 5 kW daytime and 500 watts at night.
Robert DeLancey, a managing partner for KLMR and its parent company 25-7 Media, told Radio World that the station was hit around 7:15 p.m.
