Fort Lauderdale had gusts of 92 mph and sustained 65 mph winds from Katrina. The standard engineering rule of thumb is a one mph increase per floor, so I had winds well in excess of 100 up here on the 18th floor. The windows bowed in and out and standing on the balcony was exhilarating to say the least. There were whitecaps in my manhattan.
Here are two photos I shot of Hurricane Katrina approaching the coast.
This is kinda' spooky. That is a tanker on the horizon.
I zoomed in on the tanker that is about five miles off shore in the Gulf Stream.
