Sounds nasty.
Around a dozen years ago, just after -another- Typhoon had gone through, someone
from the Guam Cable Co. had posted to rec.video.satellite.tvro that they needed a
new 12 ft. reflector and recommendations for securing it during a Typhoon.  I told
him that since 12 ft. reflectors were relatively inexpensive, just buy two and
bury the box with the second one.  After the next wipeout, dig up the box and put
up one that will last until the next time.  He never replied...<g>

mesh facing.
