Today, a video began circulated on social media where you can see that part of the border wall between Texas and Tamaulipas is flying off due to the strong winds caused by Hurricane Hanna. The wall, which was built with bars and is almost six meters high, was easily blown away by the wind.

The wall, which is one of the most prominent campaign promises of the current U.S. president, was supposed to be built with weather-resistant metals and was presumed to be almost maintenance-free.

This construction, as promised by Donald Trump, will result in a total of 338 kilometers of wall on the border between Mexico and the United States, and is intended to stop illegal migration to the neighboring country.

But Trump's "beautiful" wall has not proved as resilient as thought, although it has not been the only thing affected by Hurricane Hanna, which already has several damaging effects in its path, including power outages, flooding, fallen trees and some vehicle accidents.
