Wind Loads
(OP)
I'm trying to find a good internet course on wind loads hopefully that applies directly to the Florida Building Code. Any suggestions

Try pdhonline.com
You might find something there.
It is a "somewhat complex" topic and there is great room for interpretation under most of the codes and their reference documents such as ASCE 7. I once taught a short seminar on wind loads to a group of architects and engineers in South Florida. The intent of the course was to show the differences between ASCE 7-93 and ASCE 7-95. The questions I got indicated little true understanding of the wind loads, their derivation, and their application.
