For Franken, The Long And Windy Road
October 25, 2008 at 9:36 am
We learn this from today’s Washington Post profile of the Al Franken-Norm Coleman race:
Franken campaigned Tuesday as if he were an old farmhand. Sen. Tom Harkin (D), the Agriculture Committee chairman from neighboring Iowa, appeared at the diner to promise Franken a seat on his committee. Franken took notes on a yellow pad as the farmers discussed biofuel production and, in vowing more funding for wind farms, he informed them that the state’s 1st Congressional District is the sixth windiest in the nation.
We are now sufficiently curious — what are the top five windiest CDs in the nation?
If you’ve got a list, send it in.
Meantime, here’s an old National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration list of the top ten windiest U.S. cities:
1. Blue Hill MA
2. Dodge City KS
3. Amarillo TX
4. Rochester MN
5. Cheyenne WY
6. Caspar WY
7. Great Falls MT
8. Goodland KS
9. Boston MA
10. Lubbock TX
