I guess 10 minutes before this happened, they were warned of potential severe weather. Sugarland was about to take the stage from what I can tell.

Isn't that the second time something like this has happened recently?? First time should have clued them all in to reinforcing any stages erected...........or toning them down so they aren't as likely to topple.
Nice to see so many head down to help.....sadly for some, it was too late.

Last I read there were 4 dead and 43 others hurt.
I noticed the concern and race to help as well, nice to see.

That is awful! I got goosebumps watching the video. The poor families.

Holy, my heart just jumped out of my chest when I saw that. My heart goes out to the families of the injured and dead. But so hoping you heard wrong Fleas and there were no fatalities.
