After an incredibly nice day at Wakarusa Douglas County came under a tornado watch. At about 7:30pm on Thursday the music stopped and staff began broadcasting warnings of tornadoes and high winds over megaphones in the major camping areas. The rest of the day's music was canceled and the Wakarusa staff certainly seemed to indicated that they wanted people to seek shelter. By the time we had broken down our tent and loaded the car we had noticed quite a few people headed out of the festival area. This update is a little late because, as expected, power was knocked out in my apartment less than an hour after we got back. Ultimately, it would have been pretty messy if we had continued camping. Hopefully all of those that left will return early today.

Be sure to check the photo album for a few Thursday pictures (Friday pictures soon).
