This is something that all circus people dread. A blow down. All you can is protect the people and the animals by getting them out of the tent. In this photo there are men tightening the bull cable which is a  cable that holds the tent down, It is anchored in the ground at  the front of the tent and runs to each center pole at the top of the tent, down the back and anchored deep in the ground.
