Four S.C. port cranes damaged in storm
Port officials at the Wando terminal in Mount Pleasant, S.C. report that it could be months before damaged cranes are working again.
During a thunderstorm on Saturday, 70-mile-per-hour winds pushed a 1,500-ton rail-mounted crane down the dock, hitting three smaller cranes.
The high winds also damaged up to 74 containers - 19 loaded with cargo.
The port will be down to seven cranes to load and unload cargo until the cranes are repaired.
