I was always curious what a hurricane would look like on a weather file, so I 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 more
than an inch per hour, both on Friday morning September 14th.
I'm going to put these graphs on the White Box Technologies website as soon as my
webmaster tells me how, so that I can update them couple of times a day over the next
three days.
