Hourly Max Wind Gust (mph)
October 8 - 12, 2018


Examine and compare the wind speed and pressure data collected from the selected WeatherSTEM stations. Make sure to analyze the data from stations within the Carolinas and Virginia with data from those stations that were in the area hardest hit by Hurricane Michael.

Based on the information, how do you think the impacts from wind would have been different or the same? Can you determine the classification of the storm based on the observed winds or pressure at each location? Why or why not?
