Anyone know where WindOnTheWater gets its reading for Stevenson?

The WOTW reading and the City of Stevenson reading seem to be different most times. Didn't know if it is because of the frequency that WOTW gets its reading.

I am guessing the City of Stevenson reading is most current, as it has a live webcam on the same page....


Thanks
Chris

WOTW scrapes this page accessed every 5 minutes:

The graphic doesn't seem to update as often, but sometimes is fresher than first link:

thank you.

your link lead me to a wind graph of the last 84 minutes at the Columbia River Steam Boat Peer. a bit more useful (to me) than the snapshot wind speed on the kitecam page.
