A small but powerful storm blew through this evening, likely a micro burst.I took a picture of it as it was coming in, but I had no way of knowing the kind of disaster it was going to bring on our little town. As it rolled through, it tore up the giant tent at a circus that had set up on our town fairgrounds, collapsing it on 250 people, killing 2, one a 6 year old little girl though that fact isn't yet in the official news. Some reports have the number of injured at over 15
It's a small town, so with 250 people in attendance, I likely know at least a few people who were there. Hoping for their safety 
My daughter was supposed to be there tonight with her boyfriend and my grand son. Thankfully, a relative inconvenience of sorts kept them from going.
Will update this post as more news comes in
Thoughts/prayers/intentions/best wishes to those affected.

Two people were killed when a circus tent collapsed at the Lancaster fairgrounds as severe weather moved through the area Monday evening.

This is terrifying. We just had a circus here in my town in the U.S. which had a huge tent. I've always worried what would happen if a bad storm came through, as my area is known for that. Those people are in m prayers.

There is no tent out there that could stand up to this kind of weather. Not so sure it's a great idea to erect a tent and stuff a few hundred people in it during storm season, but I guess you take your chances just stepping out the door.
