@ Travellin Dave- is your son in Clemson or Charleston?
Interesting situation (also dangerous), high rise construction tower cranes are designed for a maximum 145 mph wind load and there are currently 23 of them operating in Miami. Hurricane Wind speeds increase substantially as the elevation increases.

A amall shift east in that track with a Cat 3+ status would likely destroy virtually every thing we own as well as that of our son and DIL. Not a good way to enter retirement.

Coffee and cigar going during the lull.
