Last Night at the State fair

Last night we went to check out some of the other exhibits outside the art building. We were headed out when we saw the storm coming in and we had just made it out from behind the grand stands when we were hit with wind and sand. Almost instantly we heard the screams from the stands. I thought a tornado had touched down on the other side of the structure so we began running. We ran for the closest structure which was the swine barn and they announced there was no tornado so we began running for the car. At the west end of the track two large guys with lights were stopping people from crossing the road. It was blindingly dusty and I could barely see. They stopped a large group of people from crossing the road that didn't want to stop. If it wasn't for those guys pushing them back they would have been ran over by the cops entering that end of the track. The cops came up from behind us with their lights on but you couldn't see them until they were right there. After that we ran the rest of the way to the car. After we had gotten out away from the fair we heard what happened.

I'm sorry for those who lost those close and to those who were injured may speed come to your recovery. Thank goodness for those who ran in and helped, and those two men at the west gate of the track.
