Historical basic wind speed changes

[mathgod]

I'm working on calculating t-min's for several towers ranging in age from the 1940's to present. I would like to evaluate them based on the wind speed they were originally designed too. Does anyone have a break-down of the ASCE basic wind speed vs. calendar year? The plant is located on the Texas Gulf Coast.

I don't have the information you're requesting, but seeing that it's been several weeks since you asked, you might try the national weather organization. Their website is:
