I've lived in Indiana all my life. When bad things happen where you live, it's very surreal. Last night, at a Sugerland concert at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, the stage collapsed. It was getting ready to thunderstorm and the wind simply blew the metal scaffolding over into the crowd. At least 5 people were killed and many more we injured. Today I pray for the families of those affected. When something like that happens in a place where you have actually set foot, it really hits home. I've gone to the State Fair every year for as long as I can remember. I'm going there tomorrow. I went to a Reba McIntyre concert in those very grandstands when I was in high school.
Tonight, where ever you are, how few readers I may have, please say a prayer for the people affect by this tragedy and others like it that happen all too often...I know I will.

Yes, that would hit a little close to home. I said a prayer.
I saw video of the stage collapse on our news bulletin here in NZ, it looked terrifying. I don't pray, but I shall definitely be thinking of those families.
I've been to the Indiana State Fair so many times. I don't think I've ever seen a concert there, but everyone I know has! So sad.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I went to the fair today and we had a great time, but it was sad to see the damage and the memorials and to think about the people that were there.
