“By the time the hurricane reaches NY, they’re predicting 60 mph winds.”

At ground level...
What does that translate to on the 30th floor?

Well, let’s say, for the sake or argument that it’s double - a full 120 mph. Does anyone see that as toppling the Empire State Building?

60 mph winds are nothing in NYC. We have blizzards practically every other year, endless nor’easters that wreck havoc and shake the buildings, so I am not concerned about my little apt. in NYC.

Now if the hurricane is as bad as the hysterical newscasters say, I suppose it’s the end of the world.
