I assume that this ATC data is for estimated Windspeeds as opposed to actual
measured windspeeds? Do you happen to know how often they update their data
and ASCE 7-05 and ASCE 7-93?
I also noticed that the windspeed data was IDENTICAL for my qth at 810’ asl at
the top of the hill facing a massive very sharp dropoff to the West as compared
to the end of my street where the asl is ~ 350’ and sheltered by hills. There
is simply no possibility that the winds they experience at the bottom are
anywhere near what I experience at my qth.

Gary,
I did the same thing for: NY, AZ, CA, TX, and NJ
While some of the MRI numbers were the same, the following numbers were
different for each address.
*ASCE 7-05 Windspeed:*
90 (3-sec peak gust in mph)
*ASCE 7-93 Windspeed:*
74 (fastest mile in mph)
Not sure of the accuracy of the program, but it is interesting...
Cheers,
Gene K5GS
