So that happened up there. I saw it on the morning news.
Is your farm area okay?

I'm glad that they had already stopped the performance and nobody was on the stage. That happened 2 years ago at Big Valley Jamboree here in Alberta, and a woman in the audience was killed.

At this Cheap Tricks concert there were 5 people injured, one of them was seriously injured and apparently is in critical condition, he had a piece of stage debris punctured through his stomach. Still haven't heard anything more about his condition but the other 4 were released from hospital. It sure was a close call for them.

NL from what has been in the media here, they are all out of the woods!! not bad for 10,000+ people and all the others all over the city!
only casualty i have heard of was a youngster that was crushed by a branch from a tree yesterday, that was part of a tree damaged in the storm. the storm that hit is a front line wind, lot of tree damage and roofing missing but overall not to bad !! worse one in may!
