Summary: Tower leaning at 45 degrees due to wind on 12/30

Mayberry
2015-01-05

I arrived about 2:30pm. After having disassembled the East End tower that fell over in the wind I thought I should check on this tower too. The Mayberry scaffolding was leaning at about a 45 degree angle to the south. One of the cross braces on the south side of the tower had caught and bent against one of the boardwalk posts keeping the tower from falling further.

Other than leaning, everything seemed fine. I left it that way hoping to push it back into place when I had help in two days time.

The tower leaned over on the morning of 12/30 in 30mph wind.
