Toxygen 1885 Posted August 16, 2011 Holy dicks, with winds that high you'd think they'd cancel or at least take some precautions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tex1an2 680 Posted August 16, 2011 I'm encouraged by the amount of people that rushed to help lift debris. That's a living nightmare.. but people noticed the gravity of the issue and ran to help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ivanns 1088 Posted August 16, 2011 That sucks They should really make stages strong enough to withstand this kind of wind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goldentongue 3616 Posted August 16, 2011 Look at the strength of that wind. They were in the midst of evacuating the area for a reason.There's not really anyone you can blame here. This kind of shit just happens sometimes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
