BATON ROUGE (WGNO) — Standing inside his science experiment, his hurricane-simulating Louisiana wind tunnel machine, one LSU engineering professor is a real tiger.
He’s ready to roar, all right. About the research he’s doing and the answers he’s finding, out there blowing in the wind.
WGNO Good Morning New Orleans features reporter Bill Wood wants you to meet Aly Mousaad Aly.
He got his PhD studying how high rise buildings hold up in a storm.
With help from four jet engine-sized super fans, the professor actually created a Category 4 hurricane. That’s up to 156 miles an hour.
He tests what hurricanes do to buildings. And to bridges. To traffic lights, too. And most of all, to your home.
One man and his mighty machine are on a mission: To let us live where we love. And not be, gone with the wind.
