The Day I Rode the Lightning on Warped Tour
On Saturday, July 27, the scene at the Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, FL was right out of a movie.
A storm crept up on the grounds, looking like The Nothing from the film The NeverEnding Story, armed and ready to ruin our day. Florida storms on Warped Tour are pretty much expected, but they usually pass pretty quickly and the show resumes. This storm was a whole other animal.
WARPED ROADIES: Wednesdays at 11/10C on Fuse
I remember the sky cracking open and turning black. The winds kicked up, with huge gusts instantly taking out rows of merch tents across from the Acoustic Basement section where I work. A few seconds later, the downpour became a solid wall of water moving sideways and coming straight into the Acoustic Basement area.
