The concert should have been cancelled. I'm from the area, and schools were even letting out early and all kinds of events were being cancelled, postponed, etc. due to the extreme weather risk.

''BELVIDERE, Ill. (WLS) -- Multiple people have been injured after the roof collapsed at the Apollo Theatre in Belvidere, Illinois, as severe storms raced through the area Friday evening.

The Boone County sheriff's office confirms multiple ambulances have been called to the scene. Several people were seen being taken away on stretchers.

The theater's marquee and faade crashed onto State Street, littering the area with bricks and debris as first responders scrambled to help the wounded.''

''A Chicago Fire Department source said there was a request for 20 ambulances. Multiple police and fire departments were on the scene.

Belvidere is located in Boone County, about 72 miles from Chicago.''
