PPL were warned to seek shelter 4 mins before this happened. No reason anyone should have died there.

Yesterday they were saying that they had made the decision to evacuate but had not yet been able to announce it because the weather changed so fast, in fact the story contradicts itself about this.

Quote:
Capt. Brad Weaver, commander of special operations for the Indiana State Police, said he took the stage at 8:45 p.m. to warn the audience of severe weather.

Weaver said he "saw the framework from the stage start to come over."

He said he and others took cover behind a trailer, which was also struck by debris from the stage.

Weaver said authorities were in the process of issuing an evacuation order, but Hoehn said no one told the crowd at the concert to evacuate.
