"To be clear, this relocation is a proactive measure being taken out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety and wellbeing of individuals working and living at the center," City Hall spokeswoman Kayla Mamelak said.
"The wind was so strong it looked like the tents were going to give way and be blown apart," Venezuelan migrant Reibi Rodrigues said. "But where were we going to go?"
City Hall officials said they had an evacuation plan in place and ready to execute if needed, but said no flooding was reported at the former federal airfield during the December downpour. They also said they were unaware of bolts and hinges falling from the top of the tents.
