I'm speaking about the specific design. I'm sure they do their wind tunnel tests, but you have to admit, the design of this structure looks more prone to hurricane damage than a traditional box-like tower.
And Bobdreamz, the eye of Andrew passed quite a bit south of downtown Miami and it's dense concentration of highrises. The eye hit Homestead, how far south of downtown is that? It would be interesting to see what would happen if the eye of a cat. 5 storm passed directly over downtown Miami or Miami Beach.
