Where Common Sense Prevails - Then - So Shall Answers Readily Appear
Using a $12.8-million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF / CMMI / NIST), the university plans to design a lab where powerful 200-mph winds can be tested, and add equipment that can inundate life-size model homes with 20-foot storm surges
