As Hurricane Milton approaches the west coast of Florida, the city of St. Petersburg has issued warnings regarding the safety of tower cranes in the area. With wind gusts expected to exceed 100 mph, there is a significant risk of malfunction for these structures.
The city's website stated that Hurricane Milton is rapidly intensifying offshore and is projected to make landfall with eye wall hurricane force winds directly impacting the St. Pete area. Four construction sites in particular are of concern due to the height and design of the tower cranes present.
