Suntrust
I posted a night-time photo of the Suntrust Financial Centre in downtown Tampa back in October. Here is a chance to see what the entire building looks like.
The Suntrust building is currently the 4th tallest building in Tampa, 36 stories and 525 feet. Construction was completed in 1992 and it was built to withstand a 110 MPH wind (a category 2 hurricane has sustained winds of 96-110 MPH).
As usual Bradley, great pictures, but…what happens in a 111 mph wind? If we get a Cat 2.5, 2.75 or, heavens to Murgatroyd, a 3 is that hummer coming down? Inquiring minds need to know stuff.

I agree, that’s the question. I doubt the “too big to fail” defense will help in that situation.
