A week after the stage disaster at the Sugerland concert in USA, a new disaster came over a festival. This time in Belgium.Yesterday afternoon a short but heavy storm came over one of the biggest pop festivals in Europe. It is a three-days festival with more than 100,000 young people from all over West-Europe and even USA. Till now five people were killed and several are in peril of there life.
I never saw a storm like this one. It was 5pm and it was pitch-dark like at midnight!
What is going on with all those storms in the world?
My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and family on both festivals/concerts of this week.

These weather changes have been so strange, all over the USA and other Places too.

Jean/B ,The minute I heard Belgium, I was so concerned that you & yours might be at this one, Thank God you weren't.

The SugarLand Tragedy was Horrific and they could have easily been killed if their manager had not waited for them to go out on stage. They held a vigil for the ones killed and injured. They are lucky to be alive. Thank God for Womens intuition or God's Interception. a savvy decision by the manager.

I pray that Alan will postpone a show, before this can happen. It seems this came up all of the sudden, however. Gust of winds 70mph or more are Hurricane force gusts, how terrible.
We have weather alerts here, but other places may not.I always watch the weather, before going to a outdoor venue.
I could not watch the TV , such a  tragedy. Prayers for all affected by this.
God Bless, Jerrie-MS
