Hurricane Michael which was officially a cat 4 until insurance claims were mostly settled then upgraded to cat 5 had windspeeds, at least in gusts, in excess of 219 mph. At that speed the instruments at TAFB failed. And it tore off roofs, some at ground level. Many buildings were shattered. There are many vacant tracts in Panama City where buildings or groups of buildings once stood.
