Never mind hurricanes. What tropical weather conditions can Eckerd College safely withstand without evacuating?
In 47 years, Eckerd College has weathered tropical storms well. But, tropical storms can cause severe damage, too, because of their sustained wind speeds of 34 to 73 mph, stronger wind gusts, torrential rains, and severe storm cells with lightning and tornadic activity. When a tropical storm is approaching the area, one needs to be prepared to remain indoors for an extended period possibly without power and to take cover when tornado warnings are issued.
