[Bldg-sim] Tracking Hurricane Florence through the Wilmington weather file (updated through Sept. 16)

[Joe Huang]

(updated through Sept. 16th 0:00)

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 the morning of Sept. 14th 
and then dropped to 0 . The rainfall peaked at about an inch per hour the moring of Sept 
14, stopped in the afternoon for a day, and then reached a higher peak of 2 inches per 
hour near midnight Sept. 15th.

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 onces a day over the next three days.
