take a look at this photo posted by a twitter user named savannah. it shows a collapsed crane on top of a building. this was a great fear that many people had in the city of miami. officials saying those things can become missiles in some of these winds that we're seeing, as dave price told us 80 to 100-mile-per-hour gusts. one has gone down. at least two dozen cranes still standing. it takes too much time to get them down. it could be a week or more to dismantle one of those. the counterbalance on those can weigh up to 2,000 pounds that, too, very dangerous if the crane collapses in high winds. guys, these are 900 feet tall in some cases. there are more than 20 in the miami area. many people watching this anticipating this over the last week, were very worried about this exact scenario. and now, we do have one of the cranes collapsed on top of the high-rise in miami. >> not a good sign, willie. appreciate that. jo ling in ft. lauderdale. jo, we're been tracking you. how's the weather now? lost her microphone. we'll get word that she's not technicall
