Wind/Hurricane
WDT has Hurricane Reports available for all US landfall hurricanes
since 2000. We offer both a basic report (consisting of wind maps
and a written report) or an extensive report (consisting of all
available wind and water [tide data etc] timelines. Shape file
format data is also available for customers who choose to overlay
WDT weather data in a GIS environment.
To learn more or order a report please visit www.weatherforensics.com/hurricane.
HURRICANE REPORT – Basic Report
WDT’s basic hurricane report provide a written summary and contoured graphical depiction (map) of the maximum wind speeds (in 10 mile per hour increments) across the hurricane areas. The map is provided in a .pdf format. The written summary includes tables of the maximum wind speed values from reporting stations (as available*). As an option, the map of the maximum wind speeds can be printed as a 2’ x 3’ poster.
Example of Hurricane Charlie
Wind & Tornado Map
HURRICANE REPORT – Extensive Report
Many engineers and adjusters are being asked to determine if wind impacted a structure prior to damage from water. WDT’s Extensive Hurricane Report provides everything in our basic report plus timeline wind charts (in Excel format) and graphs from each wind reporting station – (as available). Wind reporting station sites (latitude/longitude location) will be displayed on the map.
Water level data (height in feet) will also be provided (again with sensor/buoy sites depicted by their latitude/longitude location). Timeline charts (in Excel format) for water level data will be provided as available*. Qualitative water surge information will be provided in the written summary.
Understanding of the timelines of wind and water can help estimate the weather event timelines.
* "As available" indicates that some reporting stations may have ceased to report data during the storm due to sensor damage or loss of communication from the storm event.
Application
The most common application for WDT’s hurricane reports is supplying data to entities tasked with helping victims of hurricane’s to rebuild their property. Insurance carriers, reinsurance carriers, forensic engineers (civil, mechanical, structural, etc), catastrophe adjusters and others all rely on WDT’s hurricane reports.
