Who has sustained winds at 60-70 MPH? I keep checking all the weather stations and I can’t find a thing over gust of 45. I’ve lived in Florida all of my life. I know a bad hurricane or tropical storm when I see one. Of course there are power outages. Weak limbs fall on the power lines or the power lines were not maintained well. 45 MPH should not snap power lines.
And constant 45 MPH winds aren’t much of a problem, it’s low and high gusts that do all of the damage.
