The video being widely shared of border wall panels falling over is not from RGV, a CBP official tells me. Unclear where it was filmed, but based on desert terrain, daytime recording and style of bollards, I’m guessing these are images of a monsoon out west, prob Arizona.
Hanna blew through south Texas at night, not during day, and I doubt there were crews standing around working right in the middle of it. Most of the wall in RGV is on the river levee, not the open desert. It looks like an Arizona monsoon.
This footage does appear to be new. But as we saw in the clip of wall panels collapsing in high wind in El Centro a few months ago, the structure is weak when it’s not finished (and supported) on both sides, esp when the concrete foundation hasn’t finished curing
CBP sources in AZ say no recent reports of wall collapse there. So where is this? That looks like vehicle barrier on the left side of frame, which would be somewhere out west
