Looks like it fell right down in front of the stage.

You know in the Midwest tornado season is not a surprise. They literally were talking about this all day yesterday. They had all the warning in the world that there were dangerous storms coming. Why the hell was anyone out last night in these areas. During hurricanes the eastern seaboard takes it seriously and manages the stay inside and maximize survival.

So much for personal responsibility.

What is perplexing is that they knew they were in the path of the tornado for hours. I’m 40 miles away and sirens were going off. Why didn’t they stop the concert, clear the place out?

Mr. Mercat and I went to a John McLaughlin concert there in the 70s. It was way oversold, the show didn’t start on time, there were hippies burning candles and incense (it’s an all wood venue). We left early.

That place first opened in 1922, just over a century old. Was the roof rotten or otherwise compromised?
