I would not doubt it, as some tents came completely loose and damaged many cars.

I sure hope they had "act of god" clause on the insurance policies there!

I've been waiting for something to give way on air during the BJ broadcast. I just hope everything holds together. A very dangerous situation, especially since they're just a bunch of tents. I'm really surprised they decided to go ahead with auctions considering how severe the weather was all day and continues to be.
