I think this one had 9 wires, connected to 3 points on roof. I suspect that the connection point on the roof is what failed, I can't see all 3 wires on one side breaking. We really haven't had all that much wind lately. I won't know until tomorrow when I can get up on the roof.
Actually finding someone who can do broadcast TV antennas is going to be tricky. All the places I've tried calling so far only deal with satellite antennas, and in one case, it took me several tries to explain what I was after.
I may go ahead and try to do it myself (well, conscripting a neighbor to help), but remove the top segment of the mast. The WMO standard is 10 meters, but the NWS allows as low as 7, and those measurements are from the ground. I also need to install the sensor at least 3 meters above the roof.
