Removal process begins at collapsed tower crane site

Multiple stakeholders have begun the extensive process of extracting a massive tower crane wedged into an adjacent office building in downtown St. Petersburg.

A sizable section of a 500-foot-tall crane at the Residences at 400 Central construction site flew into a neighboring building at 490 1st Ave. S. as Hurricane Milton's gusts topped 100 mph. The equipment toppled into the facility that houses the Tampa Bay Times and bears the law firm Johnson and Pope’s signage.

What will Milton cost insurers and homeowners?

Moody’s Analytics believes Hurricane Milton is among the costliest hurricanes to strike the U.S., with estimated insurance losses between $30 billion and $50 billion.

Morningstar DBRS analysts believe that number is in the “upper half” of its initial $30 billion to $60 billion forecast. The global credit ratings agency predicts Milton will cost the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) $10 billion.
