Recently a large Crane fell in Tampa and caused a lot of damage. I heard people say it was “rated” for wind speeds that were less than the wind speeds of the recent hurricane. How can it be measured down to certain winds speed, as in, 100 MPH is safe, but 130 MPH is not safe?

In really simple terms, there’s math to both know how much force is applied at each wind speed and how much force the steel can take before breaking. Wherever those two lines cross is the rating
