AND ALSO LEARN MORE ABOUT
PREDICTION AND SAFETY.
IT'S WIND TUNNEL MEDIA DAY AT
THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, AND
THAT MEANS I GET TO EXPERIENCE
SUSTAINED CATEGORY THREE
HURRICANE WINDS INSIDE OF THE
GLENN L. MARTIN WIND TUNNEL.
THE TUNNEL'S DIRECTOR SAYS IT'S
IMPORTANT FOR THE PUBLIC TO KNOW
JUST HOW STRONG THESE WINDS CAN
BE.
>> AS AN EDUCATIONAL EXERCISE TO
HAVE OUR CITIZENS EXPERIENCE A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT IT'S LIKE
IN THE HIGH WINDS AND PERHAPS
IMPRESS UPON THEM HOW IMPORTANT
IT IS TO BE CAREFUL.
LOWELL: WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE
MIGHT NOT KNOW, SCIENTISTS AND
METEOROLOGIST USE THE TUNNEL TO
HELP PREDICT WHAT KIND OF DAMAGE
COULD BE DONE, AND HOW TO KEEP
PEOPLE SAFER.
>> BY USING SOMETHING LIKE THE
WIND TUNNEL WE GET TO ISOLATE
THAT HAZARD, WIND SPEED HAZARD
.
WE CAN FEEL THE FULL EFFECT OF
THE FORCE AND GET AN IDEA OF
WHAT KIND OF DAMAGE IT COULD
CAUS
LOWELL: SO NOW IT WAS MY TURN TO
EXPERIENCE IT.
EVEN THOUGH THIS IS MY THIRD
TIME, YOU REALLY FORGET HOW
STRONG THOSE WINDS CAN BE.
I GOT UP TO ABOUT 88 MILES PER
HOUR, STILL A CATEGORY ONE,
BECAUSE TAKE MY WORD FOR IT,
ONCE YOU'VE EXPERIENCED 115
MILES PER HOUR, OR A CAT 3,
