Holy crap!

Authorities: 4 dead in Indiana fair stage collapse - Boston.com

Sugarland (Country Band) stage at a County Fair collapsed 5 minutes before they went on-stage! 4 people confirmed dead, and there were so many wounded that the local hospital is no longer admitting patients to the E.R.

I live about an hour north of Indy and we also got hit by a severe storm last night. About 5 minutes before it started raining we got hit by wind that seemed to come out of no where. It was strong enough that live trees fell over and knocked out the power in our neighborhood. It hit us about 2 hours before it hit the fair, but even if they had been aware of the high winds I'm still not sure they could have predicted that the stage would fall like it did. It is a real tragedy.

Video of the collapse can be found here

that is an emergency management nightmare. i'm sure all the medically trained guys here would agree, the triage for this would suck tremendously. My thoughts and prays go out to all the wounded, dead, survivors and there families
