You can follow it on twitter. The stage was blown COMPLETE over. Got a text from my wife and her friend...they were in the 8th row. They say they are ok, but I am very upset..i can't reach her!!

My brother in law and family were there as well. Very scary.

[swingbelly]

my wife said they are held up in the hockey arena across the way. They are not allowed to leave yet.

[swingbelly]

[CySeymour]

is your family ok?? God I hope so!!

Yeah they're fine. My wife has been talking with them on the cellphone.

[swingbelly]

Good. I my wife can't get a signal...but she is able to text.

[swingbelly]

I just got to talk to my wife. She siad that someone in the crowd yelled "Tornado" and people started to run, my wife said just a few seconds before the stage fell. She said they got pushed into a rail and the rail fell on a man and woman trying to leave. They helped get that couple up and then they kept running for safety.....OMG!!

[CySeymour]

Holy cow, swing. Thank God they're ok.

[swingbelly]

i know my wife and friend are ok..but i'm sitting here crying......

[CySeymour]

That's allowed. It's pretty bad out there.

[swingbelly]

Word is that the band Sugarland was not on stage yet because they were in a prayer circle. WOW!!

[CySeymour]
