Those tall signs can be really dangerous in high winds. There was one that fell in my area not long ago. It was more of a statue than a sign, but it stood on a really tall pole like McDonalds signs. Strong winds knocked it loose from the cables securing it and it toppled to the ground, breaking parts off. It had been in the lot of a car dealership, but the place went out of business last year, so fortunately no one was around to be hurt.
