Oooooh. Not Good. Plus keep in mind that the buildings will tend to amplify the wind effect. I guess we’ll find out how much common sense the denizens of manhattan have. Not much I reckon.
It’s amazing how the winds are amped-up in those valleys of glass & steel. Back in the 70s & 80s, rooftop gardening was just beginning; now, it’s everywhere. Sheds, water towers, furniture, pots, railings, planters etc etc are very prevalent at way too many bldgs. I’d hope they have some ordinances about securing all that stuff, but I doubt it. But who knows? It’s a debris-raining-down disaster in and of itself, just waiting to happen, in a big blow, like what’s coming. Too many NYC’ers just poo-poo it all; thinking they’ll be okay.
I keep thinking about 9-11-01 when the planes crashed into WTC and the glass/debris came down on all those people. The pics were horrible.
