Station Incident — February 18, 2026

Anemometer and battery damage from neighborhood electrical work.

During electrical maintenance work in the neighborhood on February 18, 2026, a lineman dropped equipment onto the weather station, damaging the anemometer and the station battery.

As a result, the station has been intermittently offline. Wind data is unreliable and the station may drop off entirely when battery reserves run low.
