I have no idea why they still have it up, because there were wires and conduit coming out of the ground from where the controls were clearly ripped from the pole.

I have no idea why they ever needed it. Yes, BC was a major target within Michigan along with Saginaw and Midland for a nuclear strike. But the EOWS line was in production at the end of the Cold War. I would contact the EMA, because this is a mystery which has been bugging me.

Control boxes ripped out? Theft maybe?
