Strong Winds in Wisconsin

The storm that passed over Wisconsin and the rest of the Midwest this week was similar to a hurricane.  The National Wheather Service said that the systems pressure was an all time record low on Tuesday.  This pressure was worst than the worst storms of the last century including the storm that sank the Edmund Fitzgerald freighter.  This storm had the force of a blizzard and I got to experience it first hand.  The storm made our football practice almost unbearable as temperatures dropped into the 30's with winds up to 50 mph that led to horizontal rain.  While the worst part of the storm was the wind, it is nothing to take lightly.  As many know a Notre Dame student was killed this week as he filmed practice on a high rise that tipped over in the storm.  Attached is a link about the Notre Dame accident.
