The crane, located at 400 Central Ave., crashed into a nearby building.

"We are grateful that no one was injured.  The general contractor and crane subcontractor have engaged engineering specialists to supervise removing debris, and we expect they will begin removal soon," developer Cats Red Apple Group said in a statement.

"It does not appear that the 400 Central structure was damaged and thorough inspections are being performed."

The crane was one of four that St. Petersburg officials warned were vulnerable to Milton's wind.

Mayor Ken Welch had recommended that residents near the cranes relocate, or get to the safest inner room of their home.
