Technology - Risk Analysis - RMS looks at windstorm risk.
(From Reinsurance)
Risk Management Solutions (RMS) has carried out the risk analysis for a EUR190m securitisation by Pylon covering damage from windstorm for an unnamed European electricity supplier.

In 1999 the Lothar windstorm inflicted a considerable amount of damage when it hit France, with wind speeds of up to 112 miles an hour. It was followed a day later by windstorm Martin, which was slightly less powerful, with winds of up to 98 miles an hour.
