we were watching Fox and could see a building with a crane in the background...i asked my wife why in God’s name did they not disassemble the crane??
It takes weeks to disassemble those cranes, or at least much more time than they had. And they cannot be secured for risk of acting like a sail. The books are designed to act as a weather vane.
It would take two weeks to disassemble that crane....there was no time.
It takes 2 weeks to disassemble one of those cranes. They don’t get that much notice for a specific hurricane. If they didn’t do major construction due to hurricane season they would have to block off June to October and only do construction in the other months of the year. I don’t know if they consider that, but of course it would raise the costs of commercial construction projects.
It takes almost two weeks to put up or take down those cranes. That’s why.
