<DIV>Great observations! BTW, do the TMY-type methodologies allow for
disregarding (or at least flag) these types of events as outliers? Just
curious...</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>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.<BR></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>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. <BR></P>
