Wind nearly took my load yesterday on a tower job in Houston

That downburst hit so fast it took me a full 45 minutes to dog everything down and secure the boom. Anyone else ever have to fight sudden gusts on a high-rise?

Forty five minutes just to not die, basically. That sudden wall of wind is no joke, especially with the boom hanging out. One minute you're coasting, next minute you're holding on for dear life and praying your tie-downs don't snap.

45 minutes is a lifetime up there.
