A Windy Day in Portland
Whoa.
Strong wind toppled a construction crane near Maine Medical Center on Sunday, sending the 165-foot-tall device crashing onto three buildings in a cacophony of screeching metal and crumbling bricks.The wind here in Bangor was pretty fierce, but we only had a few smaller tree branches come down. On the plus side, the leaves have all been pushed into one spot, which will make them a little easier to rake.No one was injured in the crash, which displaced more than a dozen residents and shook nearby homes after one end of the crane came to a rest in the middle of Ellsworth Street.
