MM’s Wx Concerns
Today’s Stats
Almanac for Yesterday
On This Day in Wx History
1940 – The Galloping Gertie bridge at Tacoma, Washington, collapsed in strong winds resulting in a six million dollar loss, just four months after the grand opening of the new bridge. The winds caused the evenly sized spans of the bridge to begin to vibrate until the central one finally collapsed. From that point on bridges were constructed with spans of varying size. The Youtube video below shows the collapse. We studied this a LOT in my first semester of physics at Western.
Yesterday’s National Temperature Extremes
High: 93° at both Coolidge & Fountain Hills, Arizona
