Hurricane Simulator

Fla hurricane simulator
This is the hurricane simulator built by the University of Florida. It has 4 marine diesels and can generate winds in excess of 100mph and simulate rain at as much as 35 inches per hour. —They also built a shingle thrower to go with it.

I know that it was built to test structures under hurricane conditions, but viewed from this angle I get a mental picture of the tuba player from the marching band seeing it and yelling dibs.
