Hurricane Irene Concert Cancellations

Rolling Stone Music: Dozens of concert events have been canceled along the Eastern seaboard in anticipation of Hurricane Irene, which is expected to pass through North Carolina tomorrow and hit the New York area by Sunday. Following deadly weather-related concert catastrophes at the Indiana State Fair and the Pukkelpop Festival in Belgium, promoters aren't taking any unnecessary risks this weekend.

This is a shame that they had to cancel or postpone some events due to this hurricane. With all of the recent stage collapses that have been happening due to high winds and other factors it is definitely a smart idea. I had family that was hit by this hurricane and they said that there was a lot of wind and lot of fallen trees due to this hurricane, they were out of power for three days. It would not have been a smart idea for anyone to be out during this event. With the power outages due to the winds and the rain and a lot of places still having no power this event could have been a real tragic event.which. I just wonder when the east coast will be back up and running. I hope the best for everyone that was hit by this hurricane and hope that they get back up on there feet as soon as possible.
