I wouldn’t want to be within a mile of a tall construction crain during a hurricane. I often wonder how those things stay upright even in high non-hurricane winds.

The once-in-a-century weather event's winds have begun to hit Florida's Gulf Coast, triggering fears of tall building collapses in St Petersburg, which sits next to Tampa, after city officials warned about tall construction cranes.

Serious winds are blowing now at my place 15 miles south of Sarasota.

I am about 40 miles east of Tampa and the wind is starting to pick up. My area currently has a tornado warning and there is a confirmed tornado on the ground south of me in Lake Placid.
WeathernationTV.com currently forecasts a maximum wind velocity of 49mph for 4am Thursday, Tampa Florida.
That’s an estimate and may be too high or too low. Forecasts often get pushed back. So, if they expect a peak at 4AM, the peak might happen at 6 or 8AM.
50 mph hour sounds serious, but not catastrophic to me. What do you think?
Storm surge for properties on the water is another matter. What happens to boats and boat docks?
Sometimes in Florida I will see a house on high stilts next to a house at ground level. One could take a picture of that at label one as optimist and the other as pessimist.
