Tracking Hurricane Florence through weather files

I was always curious what a hurricane would look like in the weather station reports, so
I've just downloaded the current year weather file for Wilmington North Carolina,
processed it and plotted the days around the time the hurricane struck.? Here are the
results.? Take a look at the wind speed and rain plots. The wind speed reached a maximum
of 61 MPH and the rainfall at 250mm or nearly a foot

I am now in the process of putting this on the White Box Technologies website that I can
update every 12 hours or so. Hopefully the graphics will not degrade as much as they do here.
