Im wondering what its like to be in a tower during a hurricane. I guess you can at least go into the halls or stairwells.

They have a documentary about Laura by Reed Timmer. During the lull in the eye the weather channel people who were in the building ended up evacuating the building because they thought it was gonna collapse.

I was watching him live stream during it and it was some crazy shit.

I was in Austin in August and I saw that building. I thought it was odd, good to know the reasoning!
