One person has died and 40 others have been injured due to the collapse of a stage at a country music festival in Alberta, Canada, on Saturday!!
Awful!
By the time actor Kevin Costner‘s group Modern West hit the stage, the storm was in full force.
The main stage at the Big Valley Jamboree in Camrose fell victim of heavy winds and rain and collapsed while Nashville’s Billy Currington was in the middle of performing.
“I can’t describe the sky ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ it was brown and purple and green,” said one witness. “The massive wind blew me backwards.”
The peaceful country music festival soon erupted into chaos!
Another witness described the terrifying scene: “It felt like bombs were going off around us in this concrete and steel building. Huge hits of power hitting the building, and then the lights were off.”
So scary!!!
No word on whether or not the Big Valley Jamboree will continue as scheduled through Sunday night.
Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the victims of the storm.
Stay strong!
Update: The festival has been cancelled on Sunday.
