Hi, Meteorologists!
Hold on to your hats! In this powerful episode of
Eye of the Storm
, we’ll blow the doors off the science of wind engineering with Florida International University’s (FIU) International Hurricane Research Center (IHRC). FIU’s leading-edge research facility, Wall of Wind (WOW), simulates Category 5 hurricane conditions to collect data on a storm’s wind and pressure force impact used to ultimately improve resilience during an actual severe weather event. Then, visit the Wall of Wind exhibit at MODS to put your engineering skills to the test in hurricane-force winds.
