Hurricane Milton coming to FL
- Thread starter Touchdown

The closest one is in walking distance to the hotels near I-4, by Disney Springs on Hotel Plaza Blvd. My go to order is hash browns , triple , extra crispy , smothered, covered , chunked , peppered, capped and diced paired with the terrible brewed java .

Don’t want to downplay the strength and seriousness of this storm but if you asked me what was the first thing to go in St Pete, it would be a fabric roof over the Trop. It’s old, and well fabric. Also, there should be some law that says these cranes need to be broken down if a Cat 3 or higher is about to hit the area.

I live in central Ohio, hardly storm central, and they buried nearly all the power lines in my city ~20 years ago. I think since then I've only once lost power for more than 2 minutes.

As others have mentioned, big cranes don't come down in a day. Trust me, no construction company wants to lose a crane, they are expensive pieces of equipment. The logistics of a crane move are intense, and that just for crawler cranes. If you can't move it, you try to bring the boom down. Tower cranes are designed to handle some winds, and the top should spin freely in a storm to avoid damage. But there are limits to every design.
Lost Internet for like 1 minute. Never lost power. However the poor little tree in front of my kitchen window is minus most of its leaves. Couple of palm fronds in front yards. That's about it.
That wind at 2 AM was a bit scary....

Alive in Sumter Co. Power went out for me about 930 last night and still out. I think the whole town is/was out. My backyard flooded like it did after Debbie but it's higher and further into the front of the yard than last time, but no intrusion into the house since I'm up a few feet (but I'm sure it's all up in the crawl space). Going to try to get another lil cat nap in before I fully venture outside to assess the rest of the yard.
The Waffle House index RULES!!!!

It's not just branches, it's the bloody trees themselves. We have this discussion about trees and burying power lines every time a hurricane comes through tree loving Tallahassee, but estimates are it would cost close to a billion. And as utilities are provided by the City, never goes anywhere, as 30% of the property is owned by the state.
If Helene had kept course for Tallahassee....
That retirement trailer park? I assume one of the many tornadoes went through it? Sad.
How did your aunt fare?

Understood, however we did know 5 to 6 days ago the general path. They don't have to be broken down completely, but doesn't the that effort outweigh what has happened? The potential loss of life and the $ they are about to have to payout, or their insurance companies at least.
