Aftermath
Another notable Hurricane Milton image that went around the world was of the wrecked construction crane. It toppled on to the offices of the Tampa Bay Times and the adjacent building of Johnson Pope, a legal company. The wreckage remained in situ more than a week later.
As Hurricane Milton approached the Gulf Coast, concern had been officially expressed about the risk of such a collapse. Gov. DeSantis subsequently paid St. Pete a visit, declaring that the construction company had displayed “a lack of common sense” in its failure to secure the crane from the storm.
