@[email protected] any idea why they decided to do this strange design? Seems like a lot of overkill: it's not in tornado alley, not in hurricane bowling land, and it doesn't seem like reinforced concrete would be better for earthquakes than the traditional metal tower.

"hardened" site. It sits atop an underground switch that was part of the DoD's Autovon network.
