Here is an excerpt from an Associated Press story that gives hope to those who want to see Sugarland in Utah this coming Saturday at Usana Amphitheatre:

The intuition of Sugarland's tour manager probably saved them. Hellen Rollens had gone outside to check the weather. She decided to hold the band backstage for just a moment.[Gail] Gellman, [Sugarland's manager] said the manager's "decision to hold them for literally a minute saved every band member and crew's life." Gellman said she was "forever grateful to her for that."Even though all of "The Incredible Machine" staging was destroyed, Gellman said she hoped Sugarland would play the rest of their scheduled shows, starting with Albuquerque on Thursday.
