Lollapalooza -closed and evacuated

[Craig Hauber]

Just saw this in the news:

Lollapalooza's first evacuation relatively smooth, but no refunds for disappointed fans - chicagotribune.com

It looks like things actually were learned after last years disaster in Indiana -good for them!

My hope is the lesson learned is not temporary.

A man was killed at Pocono Raceway after the race was cut short and fans were told to leave the grandstand and was struck by lightning.Several others were injured.If he would have stayed in the stands he might still be alive.You just never know.

They waited too long to make the weather call... and there is no certainty that grandstand would have adequately protected the crowd from a strike.
