Back when working at the power plant, I was part of the environmental team that monitored stack emissions among other responsibilities. All the instruments were on the stack at the 250' level. With a 30 mph wind the sway was really noticeable with a 5" or more sway. At 35 mph the safety guys wouldn't let us go up. The stacks survived an F5 tornado that passed a couple miles away in the 80's and several smaller tornados in the years after that. Would not have been a good time to be up there.
