Link to Wind Speed by Location 2

[Lutfi]

I hope all of you find the following link useful. It will generate wind speeds for ASCE 7-93, 7-05 and ASCE 7-10. All you have to do is input the coordinates for the project site.

The module is on the Applied Technology Council web site.

Thanks for the link.

In some cases, the wind speed gets more codified, for example, see the map on the following link:

I agree. We have the same in Florida. They have maps county by county. Here is the link to that site:

Speaking of Florida, I would be careful using the original wind map... I plugged in a couple of local locations and got the wrong wind speed (too low).
