Wind speed to pressure

The building code indicates homes must be built for a 90 mph wind speed.  How does this get converted to a pressure.

That formula can be found here:

I would have thought it very complex, but it appears to be a quite simple formula.

There are also a couple other pages of good reading for you here:

Thanks, Robert.  I don't know how you found this, I spent a couple of hours looking.  Its exactly what I wanted.  The Canadian Building Council is great, much better than what we have here in the States.
