Title: Re: Indiana State Fair Stage Collapse Sugarland Concert Post by: valhalla on 15-Aug-11, 05:08:41 AM Gigi was about 2 miles away at the barn with Bandit, her horse.
From her e-mail: "No, I did not get caught up in that freak wind gust - sort of. Bad weather had been forecast, but that had been hit or miss. I was coming home from the barn and had just been outside with Bandit while he was grazing. He kept wandering in to the tomato garden so I put him up and left. Skies above us were clear with seemingly no signs of trouble while I was outside with him . As soon as I turned the corner I could see that the sky to my west was pitch black with lightning. It seemed pretty far away, but I called the barn to tell the 2 riders who were outside in the big open field to get inside fast. I was really concerned about the lightning, not the wind. That was at 8:47 and the stage had toppled at 8:45. My car was really shaking with the wind and leaves and trash were blowing across the road fairly vigorously, but I never suspected that just 2 miles away, it had been deadly. Such a tragedy. The fair was closed today with plans to reopen tomorrow morning with a prayer service. I am sure they are working to reschedule all of the competitions. I may go out tomorrow morning to pay my respects...."
