Cheers to our friends at the @sltrib who sponsored our first gathering tonight of the @tb_times newsroom at a local brewery 13 days after Milton sent a crane crashing into our building, ruining much of what we had inside. Nothing can stop this group’s resilient spirit.

“Florida has no laws on crane safety during high winds, not even for hurricanes. In fact, lawmakers banned cities and counties from passing rules themselves — at the urging of construction lobbyists.” Must-read by @ZackSampson @BetsBarnes @Colleen_Wright tampabay.com/hurricane/2024/…

A crane collapsed in Hurricane Milton. Authorities aren’t investigating

Lawmakers years ago banned cities and counties from overseeing crane safety in storms. Local officials want change.

Speechless. We are at the entrance to our Tampa Bay Times office in downtown St. Petersburg. A crane is blocking the road, and several stories up, smoke billows out of the building from where it appears the crane fell Smell of gas in the air and you can hear alarms #MILTON
