One middle aged male was injured when hit in the head by flying debris and was taken to the hospital for stitches. Outflow winds from a dissipating thunderstorm ripped though an outdoor music concert event. The winds blew over the lights and ceiling over the stage which then fell back onto sound equipment and two power poles behind the stage snapped off. Tents, lawn chairs, and porta-potties were also blown over.
