Having worked with these types of canopies/tents in the past, it's
pretty standard that if you have high winds you need to extensively
tie the stuff down, or just let the canopies go in the wind if
supplemental ties and lashing won't work. The posts probably would
have stayed put if the canopies had been taken off properly.
Just keeping the tents with the standard tie down in high winds - only
a complete moron would think that's ok. Whoever supplied the tents
should lose his business over this. Pretty obvious the tent guy did
not do his job. Probably didn't want to leave the house because he
didn't want to miss the game and get wet. Frankly IMHO that person,
whoever it is, is a complete asshole.
I can't stand people who have zero pride in their work, unfortunately
seems to be the norm these days.
