Photography from the University of Miami
The University of Miami has a hurricane simulator. Costing around $45 million to create, the simulator holds 30,000 gallons of water, can create winds up to 200 miles per hour and has a length of 75 feet and a height of 6.5.
Why build such an expensive simulator? The University of Miami wants to use the data to build more flood-resistant infrastructure. They will be testing the simulator on different structures and bridge designs to see what they can improve.
They are also researching how the hurricane will affect marine life and aquatic organisms.
