After weeks of warning and planning for its arrival, Hurricane Irma finally made landfall in Florida this morning.
It made landfall in the Florida Keys with 130 mph wind gusts and already, more than 1.35 million people are without power and according to weather experts it’s all just beginning for the state.
Construction cranes in downtown Miami were a major concern ahead of the storm because officials didn’t have time to take them down before the storm. Now, it has cracked and fallen in the downtown area.
The crane is over a building under construction, according to Rick Seara with the City of Miami. It’s located across from the Federal Prison but luckily there are no injuries.
Here's a better pic. Heard a loud crack, looked up and saw the crane snapped and falling. @CityofMiami @downtownMIA @wsvn @CBSMiami pic.twitter.com/NUCHUICsz2
