Leaning Tower of South Padre imploded this morning

[JimPat]

Jim and Patty witnessed the implosion of the 31 story "Leaning Tower of S. Padre" at 9:03 this morning. We cheered as the giant wind shadow plummeted downward. POOF! and it was gone. It left a cloud of smoke and dust which was not as huge as we imagined it should be and the explosion was not as loud either.
Mark & Gary, the last Minnesotans to visit are leaving the island today. If any of you are planning a visit, be sure to contact us!

Wishing you all lots of wind and snow this season!

On another note, it sounds like the wind was blowing nicely out there.

No you see it now you don't. I've been wanting someone to do that ever since they built the bloody thing.
I hope it's a long time till it's replaced.

Steve, I couldn't agree more...
