This was a light in the outside lunch area at one of the labs that I work in, as you can see the base completely rusted and it just collapsed.....noone got hurt. After a visual inspection of the remaining lights, 2 more were found to need replacing as well.....just waiting to see what the customer wants to do now.

We have a design detail that offsets the pole base plate from the concrete base, so there is a 1/2" gap between them and the lighting poles have a drain-hole in them.

The damage looks typical of what we see around here that is caused by the use of salt for ice melting. (I know that is not the case here)
Also the anchor bolts look in much better shape than the pole and the pole base, I wonder why?

When it pours............. man, it pours!

Got on a board a west bound seven forty seven
Didn't think before deciding what to do
All that talk of opportunities, TV breaks and movies
Rang true, sure rang true.

Seems it never rain in Southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California
But girl, don't they warn ya
It pours man it pours.
Out of work, I'm out of my head
Out of self respect I'm out of bread
I'm under loved I'm under fed
I wanna go home
It never rains in California
But girl don't they warn ya, it pours, man it pours.

Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it
Had offers but don't know which one to take
Please don't tell them how you found me
Don't tell them how you found me give me a break
Give me a break
