With that information, is 30 minutes enough time to get the truss spot ops down, the roof lowered, and crew/performers/audience evacuated?
Should they have cancelled earlier than that?
Is that perhaps the right time to cancel (@ 8:23p when the warning went out), but at that point is the only appropriate action to abandon ship without trying to save the structure?
I don't think there would have been enough time to do everything, but fair warning should have first gone to the truss spot ops so they could get down. You can always delay the start of the show a few minutes to get them back in position if all is clear. Always a bit of a fog on any story, but my understanding so far is that one was killed and several badly injured. I wonder how many on the crew really got the heads up on what was coming, and how many were killed or injured because they were trying to protect the stage and equipment thinking it was a much smaller storm then it was.
