Short story:
A sudden, violent storm hits the Pukkelpop Festival in Belgium, Europe, as Skunk Anansie reach the end of their set. Five people die, 140 are injured and the event is closed down. "The sky suddenly turned pitch black and we took shelter waiting for the rain," says festival-goer Catherine Blaise. "Then suddenly, there was a downpour. The wind blew violently. There were hailstones bigger than a centimetre falling... Trees toppled over. It was unbelievable, the end of the world." Eye witness accounts can be found by clicking here.
