ANST - Canton a "Beautiful" Site?

[Patrick J. Cuccurello]

Just so everyone is aware.  The large community hall in Canton is built to
withstand a tornado up to an F3.  That is the requirements for metal
building that will be used by the public.  I have been in the market for a
building similar lately for the South Hunt County Community Center and have
been informed that is one of the requirements.  The also have to be suitable
grounded against lighting strikes.  That doesn't prevent flying glass from
the door, but the building should withstand a great deal.
