Cynthia Hoye was the one in charge of the event, so she should have been the one to make the final decision. The manager of Sugarland was only asked to delay the concert, not to cancel it. The manager of Sugarland denied ever being asked to delay the concert. Cynthia and all the fair Commission officials first found out about the storm at 5:30pm. They were all in the trailer behind the Grandstand when the "National Weather Service gave them its fourth storm update in 2 1/2 hours" (Tuohy, 2015).

And this trials shows how others didn’t agree with the trial decision and choose to take matters into their own hands, but also shows that when the rape test came back negative for during the first the courts should have checked for insanity in Thelma Massie.

Despite how long the tornado may had taken to virtually obliterate them, the result was always the same, maximum damage and death (Haas). The ramifications of the tornado caused severe property damage and casualties, which amplified the dire need for aid and forced those who had lost their homes to quickly realize that actions needed to be taken.
