How much crosswind would it take to "ground loop" a Metro, particularly on a smooth runway and is that even possible?

I ask this because I've seen a video of a Caravan "ground loop" with a strong crosswind. I've even seen a Caravan spin around in a strong cross wind onto the tail and smack into a hangar on the spinner.

There was report of a crosswind in the mentioned incident, was it significant?
