I am not saying that this IS the case, but, in the case of weather, it is not uncommon for a storm to do major damage at one place, and nearly no damage at another though the second is a very short distance away.

How were the tents at the art fair secured? Were they anchored with concrete barriers or were they simply staked?

In any case, I surely hope that the responsible parties do what is necessary to get these vehicles back into their pre-storm condition and the appropriate parties compensated. I know I would be quite upset of it were my project that was damaged!
