I still have to question sticking it in georgia though...hurricane territory. If the meteoroligists are correct, there are a good 10 years of nasty storms that will approach the gulf coast states. If I was to build something like this, I would seriously consider moving it into the interior of the US.
The facility is in Atlanta, which is at least 3-4 hours inland from the closest ocean. We usually see one bad thunderstorm a year, maybe two, that winds up knocking down a few power lines and that's it. Put your mind at ease, not only are we not in hurricane territory, due to the Mountains on the NW throughout the NE side of the state, we rarely see any devestating weather here. The last "Blizzard" we had was back in '93 or '94, and the only tornados are spawned off the leading edge of powerful thunderstorms, just like anywhere else in the US.
