Stop the Music: A freak hailstorm Sunday in the mountain resort area of Snowbird, Utah, toppled a pavilion tent and caused a crowd of 1,500 to flee an outdoor concert. Forty-three people were injured, none seriously. About 35 minutes into a concert by the Lettermen and the Utah Symphony, the tent began to sag under the weight of the hail. Snowbird officials stopped the music and told the audience to leave. The 10,300-square-foot pavilion tent collapsed moments later.
