| Wind Load Zone |
Southeast Georgia coastal plain, inland but relatively close to the Atlantic (~35-40 miles) — roughly 120-140 mph (ASCE 7, Exposure C), likely toward the higher end of Georgia's inland range given proximity to the coast. NOT a verified figure; depends on which ASCE 7/IBC edition Charlton County has adopted and must be confirmed with a GA-licensed engineer or the county building official.
