Exactly, though we knew there was inclement weather in the stands (and what happened at Busch Stadium), I had no idea there actually was a tornado. How would I have reacted if I knew that? Panicked and freaked out. Yes, that's not the best reaction, but I can guarantee thousands of others would also do that.
And for anyone who says FIRST did absolutely nothing other than the announcement, at one point just about all the safety judge green shirts hurriedly ran(well, not running, but you get the point) out of the stands.
