Bracing for Impact: Wind Expert says Hurricane Debris Poses Serious Threat
For 30 years, Professor Fred Haan has been studying wind’s effect on structures. His research primarily involves the wind tunnel testing of buildings and structures both for hurricanes and tornadoes. In fact, he spent this past year on sabbatical at Western University in London, Ontario, considered to be the birthplace of this kind of wind tunnel testing. There, he gained a better understanding of the effects debris has during a high-wind event.
