{description}   Just east of Kennedy Space Center's Launch Complex 39, Pads A & B
                (Pad 39B is seen upper left), sea-oat-covered sand dunes along
                the Atlantic Ocean show the ravaging effects of wind and high
                water from Hurricane Floyd as it passed along the East Coast of
                Florida, Sept. 14-15. At a weather tower located between Shuttle
                Launch Pad 39A and Launch Complex 41, the highest winds recorded
                during the superstorm were 91 mph from the NNW at 4:50 a.m. on
                Wednesday, Sept. 15. The maximum sustained winds were recorded at
                66 mph. The highest amount of rain recorded at KSC was 2.82
                inches as the eye of Hurricane Floyd passed 121 miles east of
                Cape Canaveral at 4 a.m. Wednesday. A preliminary review of
                conditions at the Kennedy Space Center was positive after the
                worst of Hurricane Floyd passed. There appeared to be no major
                damage to NASA assets, including the launch pads, the four Space
                Shuttle Orbiters, and flight hardware.
