In Response To: Re: TS Katrina -- Round 2 (Capt. Dave Kosh)

Dave,

Consider this: A 53' x 13', (almost 700 sq ft), trailer, broadside to a 70+ mph wind, at an elevation of 100 ft on an open strech of overpass, (nothing to break the wind).

If you take 1 cubic foot of air moving at 70 mph x 690, (side of trailer), (the width of the trailer is 9 ft & most of it's load is below the center of gravity), that's a thrust of 48,300 lbs. My math may be a bit fuzzy, but you get the picture...

Br,

Patrick
