1. Someone left a crane deployed during a hurricane? n/t

2. They left most of them up.

Set them so they could swing like a weathervane, which is supposed to reduce the chance of collapse.

But they did tell people living near those cranes to get out of their houses.

3. Yes, at least ten of them, tied down as well as possible.

The PTB knew before this hit that some of them might let go. Warnings were issued for people in the areas where construction is going on nearby.

4. It takes a week or two to dismantle them. They had no choice but to leave them up.

they are all over the place for construction and for shipping containers purposes
