  2. I heard about the billboards that were flying off their hinges and colliding with cars on the highway..How dangerous!! Who do you think is going to be paying for all of this? The advertiser, the agency, the media buyer, or the outdoor company? Crazzzy! I really hope no one got hurt. Hope you weren't on the road when the billboards went flying!

  3. Simon, certainly these signs will come back. Danielle,most likely the sign owners are responsible for the sign repair or removal and damages to property. As for the other parties, well, may the best man win. Did the wind and rain make you homesick for a hurricane and the hurricane party to go with it?
