Bubbling Water From High Winds 03-18-11

Just a short, raw video clip showing the interesting effects that high winds can have on the building that houses the Mount Washington Observatory, the Sherman Adams State Park Building. High winds on the mountain can create significant differences in pressure between outside and inside the building, in this case causing water to bubble up through cracks in the concrete around this window. Although this has probably happened many times before, it wasn't until this most recent high wind event that it was actually noticed. Winds at the time of filming were gusting well over 100 mph, with sustained speeds around 90 mph.

Mount Washington Observatory is a nonprofit, membership-supported research and educational institution with a mission to advance understanding of the natural systems that create Earth's weather and climate. Since 1932, the Observatory has been observing Mount Washington's incredible extremes, conducting scientific research, educating the public about the science of weather and climate and amassing one of North America's longest and most unique climate records.
