    Design wind speed in Chicago per IBC 2006

    Can anyone tell me what the design wind speed in City of Chicago? Based on IBC2006/ASCE07, the design wind speed is 90MPH but it seems a little too low. Chicago is known as "Windy City" and I guess the design wind speed should be 100 MPH at least. Can anyone verify this for me? THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
