I have a question. Sorry if it’s stupid.....but wouldn’t it be safe up in a high rise? I see high rise buildings like apartments, offices, condos, etc and I’ve never heard of a building being blown over? Just asking.......

From what I heard yesterday, the higher you are, the windier it is so even though I doubt a building would be blown over it would still be pretty darn scary being on the 14th floor

The problem is, winds increase the higher up you go above ground. So high rises get more wind and lose windows.

On higher floors--absolutely not.
