Hurrican Ike

Hurricane Ike's remnants combined with an unusual depression that affected southwestern Iceland on September 17, three days after Ike became extratropical. The storm produced 9 m (30 ft) waves along southwest coasts of the island. Rainfall peaked near 200 mm (7.9 in) close to Reykjavík. Wind gusts were measured up to 89 miles per hour (143 km/h). Strong winds on the backside of the system produced a large dust storm in northern areas of the island.Some areas of the country experienced 47 m/s winds (>100MPH), the strongest gust of wind measured 52.9 m/s and in my area the strongest gust measured 41.9 m/s.
