During 1995 Hurricane Luis, the Caribbean Island of Anguilla sustained 175 mph winds for nearly 10 hours. Windows in the Airport Control Tower designed to withstand 200 mph winds were all blown out. The only damage to a transmitter station (built with Kwik-Build Panel technology) was caused by a 40 FT container that was picked up, overturned and thrust 20 feet into the side of the building. “Two corner panels were damaged and replaced without compromising structural integrity. Minor water leaks occurred around the door, but the million dollar transmitter installation inside suffered no damage”. A thorough inspection yielded no other signs of structural damage.
