Subject: Farrington Road cell tower is only 150 feet tall
Just to clear up some misinformation.
MaryPhyllis said in a Chatlist post that “The cell phone tower is planned to be much higher than needed in the community where Karen Howard and numerous others live”
Last month the Chatham County planning board approved three cell towers; each measured 300 feet

The proposed height of the Farrington Road cell tower is half that height at 150 feet.

Maryphyllis also recommends that in case of an emergency people “Dial 911 on your land line!”
The reality is that a quarter on folks in North Carolina live in cellphone-only households. We can probably assume the percentage of Chatham County folks using only cellphones is about the same.
* According to an annual national health survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a quarter of North Carolina adults lived in cellphone-only households as of June 2010. In the CDC’s modeled estimates, that number (25.2 percent) has risen steadily from 17.5 percent in June 2008 and 21.8 percent in June 2009.

Read it again, ChathMom. The cell phone tower is planned to be much higher than needed in the community where Karen Howard and numerous others live.
Dial 911 on your land line! That way you always have ability to phone in when cell phone towers are currently out of commission during natural disasters. That’s the true segue into the modern age: responsibly taking what is good and viable from the past while also using the good of the present.
