There's some serious neglect of worker safety going on here. They're out there in a storm with this crane and big metal object held aloft. They should have called the work off until the storm was gone.

Richmond’s monument to Stonewall Jackson, hoisted from its pedestal moments ago, is about to be lifted by forklift on to a flatbed and taken to storage. Onlookers still gathered despite the the torrential downpour.
