FOR COMPARRISON BETWEEN HURRICANE LENNY AND HURRICANE GEORGES IN 1998!

PLEASE NOTE***THE SAME STATION EQUIPMENT HARDWARE & SOFTWEAR RECORDED READINGS IN BOTH STORMS.

ANEMOMETER IN GEORGE TOOK A DEBRIS HIT AT 4:24 PM & WIND DATA WAS NOT COLLECTED FOR THE END OF THE STORM. WIND SPEEDS AT THAT TIME HAD FALLEN TO THE PEAK GUSTS BEING RECORDED IN THE 80 / 81 MPH RANGE. THE AVERAGE WIND SPEED WAS DOWN TO THE 60-MPH RANGE.THIS LOSS OF DATA WOULD OF COURSE RESULT HIGHER GUST COUNTS IN THE WINDS ABOVE 74 MPH, AND ALSO TROPICAL STORM FORCE WIND GUST TOTALS. DATA COLLECTED IN BOTH EYEWALLS ARE COMPLETE AND ACCURATE.
