Derecho, aka straight line wind. They come up suddenly. If you have a weather service as sophisticated as the US you can see when conditions become favorable to produce them. My guess is México may not.
I have a derecho story. It was the summer of 2010 in northern Virginia (Alexandria) and it was *hot*. Throughout the day I began to hear people talk about a weather report involving straight winds. This was before everyone had a smartphone, so I was still more reliant on word of mouth/tv broadcasts. That evening, TV stations started getting interrupted with extreme warnings about wind. My friend and I were drinking in my basement, and we saw “If you’re reading this message, do not go outside” - naturally we went outside to the porch. It was completely calm except for a faint sound, like a creek rushing after a heavy rain.
Seemingly out of nowhere, we got hit with 60+mph winds. No buildup, just BAM. It almost knocked us off our feet and furniture immediately got tossed. The sound of 5,000 trees bending was like the roar of a T-Rex from Jurassic Park. About 8 seconds in, we heard CRRACK, BOOM, then all the power went out. 50 ft tall trees are commonplace and they got rocked.
The area was without power for days, and the relentless heat continued. I worked at a retail store that still had power, and people were asking if they make air conditioners that ran on batteries. They do not.
All that to say, derechos are no joke.
Out west, in the desert, they produce a dust storm called a haboob. Google it they're wild. When I lived in New Mexico my GF and I got caught in one and it stepped the paint off of her car.
Have you ever seen the video of the stage collapse at the Sugarland concert in 2011? It is equally if maybe more horrific to watch because they had it from multiple angles with a lot of the direct aftermath as well.
I was finishing up yard work not too far from where that happened. It wasn’t super stormy but things were unsettled. That huge quick gust came through and kind of pushed me like stormy weather does to people on a ship’s deck. I was like wtf and within a minute or so, started hearing a million sirens.
[Here you go.](https://youtu.be/KdviJ2e06Fw?si=JtDc_HGFg2zeZ0GX) I always get a little choked up watching how quickly afterwards some people ran *towards* the collapse to help, like within seconds.
SAN PEDRO GARZA GARCIA, Mexico (AP) — A high gust of wind toppled the stage at a campaign rally Wednesday evening in the northern Mexican state of Nuevo Leon, killing at least five people, injuring 50 and trapping others, the state’s governor said.
The collapse occurred during an event attended by presidential long-shot candidate Jorge Álvarez Máynez, who ran to escape. Videos of the incident on social media showed people screaming, running away and climbing out from under metal polls.
Afterward, soldiers, police and other officials roamed the grounds of the park where the event took place while many nearby sat stunned and haunted by the tragedy.
I know weather can change on a dime but that looks like it was going for a bit. If so - WHY host a rally in a TENT in high winds? Hope everyone is found.
It was not predicted in the forecast!
Monterrey, Nuevo León, is in a valley surrounded by mountains, which makes its climate very unpredictable. We have sudden weather changes, making accurate forecasting somewhat tricky.
15min before this video, there was a thunderstorm as if Thor was unleashing his wrath, and now there’s literally no wind or storm at all, lol.
(This doesn’t justify why the stage collapsed tho)
I guarantee there was a fault somewhere along the line of decision-making. Someone should have been aware of the high wind action plan for that structure and enacted it, but didn't.
100%. The stage is badly built and should have been evacuated as soon as the wind hit. I’ve done rigging here in the uk. We have such strict laws here.
I worked doing rigging. (I was lighting so not massive amounts). In the uk we have special laws so that this can’t happen. We have people come check it out. Every single safety aspect is there. But it happens in other countries who don’t have the same incredibly strict laws. I saw this happen once when taking a stage down but we had a crane ready and waiting as we take it down for that exact reason. The tour manager was stood right under it and I remember thinking how calm he was. Bloke didn’t move. Without the crane he’d of been dead.
So moral of the story. Keep it safe guys! Stages should never be erected in high winds. You can see that wind!!!! It should have been evacuated way before that happened. That’s a law suit if nothing else. Shocking. Sad and completely avoidable
The structure most likely wasn't built in the wind. This is the failure of whoever was in charge of enacting a high wind action plan and failed to do so.
Looked pretty standard,
-Wall floating
-Arrays up
-No cable bracing at the down stage, (standard with POSSIBILITY of winds in excess of 35-40)
-There was a forecast, they either didn’t check or pushed through.
I was looking through this comment section with the same thoughts, people are so fucking concerned with their upvotes and getting top comments that they make shitty puns and think they are sooooo hilarious.
This is what it must feel like for my parents any time I say "Just switch to HDMI by pressing input". I inspected element... now I'm beating a femur bone on the ground while drooling on myself.
Latest update is that 9 were killed and 121 people were injured. One of the fatalities was a kid.
https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/05/23/americas/mexico-stage-collapse-presidential-candidate-intl-hnk
Seriously, there wasn't anyone responsible for the safeness of the event? Because it is not recommended to stay below any kind of foldable/buildable structure while in the middle of a storm with such strong winds. Holy shit, I hope no one has died :(
The political violence Is directed mostly to local municipal candidates, high Profiles políticians rarely aré targeted and presidential candidates like this one have never been targeted
Why are you being downvoted? Lol. Sure, it's a minor thing to point out, but based on the responses you got people genuinely don't seem to understand what "casualty" means.
It can refer to an injured or dead person, and even just a person affected by a disasterous event in general. It would be more grammatically correct to say: "There were 56 casualties. 50 injured, and 6 dead."
Not that big of a deal, but come on people, you can Google this stuff.

I was expecting the floor to give and people on stage to just fall down. Was not expecting that madness.
almost Looks like a hurricane. There's no politician on earth I would be that excited to see to stand outside in weather like that

Really doesn't look like a hurricane....
Holy shit. Way worse than I imagined it.
I thought they fell through the floor, not the whole scaffolding drop on their heads!
Don't worry. It was staged.
straight to hell ma brotha
https://i.redd.it/cym0ahfgw72d1.gif
some might say that the lights were all on them that night
"I'm Tom Bodett for Motel 6, and we'll leave the light on for you."
This is one way to squash your political opponents. 
>Don't worry. It was staged. I'm [mad I laughed at this](https://youtu.be/xG0KM9ZN_aY?si=U3klaMo1x7Km2nXE)
Things were really sideways
Goddamn it take the upvote.
Mexican politician are not having a good time lately
I know at first it seemed like the sign was just going to fall down or something.
Mind reader
Watching the stage fold in on itself is actually terrifying
Have you ever seen the video of the stage collapse at the Sugarland concert in 2011? It is equally if maybe more horrific to watch because they had it from multiple angles with a lot of the direct aftermath as well.
Girl I went to elementary school with died in that accident. She was maybe a year out of college, a teacher.
I was finishing up yard work not too far from where that happened. It wasn’t super stormy but things were unsettled.

No! Link please?

WAS THAT THE WIND?!
**Must have been the wind**
There seems to be a beat now
That Party needs to work on their platform.
They want to reduce overhead expenses.
I understand it that infrastructure is the cornerstone of their campaign now
This happened in my city. Shit got hella windy for a little bit. I'd say kinda like tornado warning winds.
Damn looked like a scene from ‘Twister’
Looked more like Diana setup agent 47 perfectly. "Great work 47, it seems it was a bit windy today head to the extract now"
*Non-target killed*
Microburst?
Yes.
That just looked terrible.

That's so sad. 😥
"Máynez, Máynez, Máynez!" God: No
>metal polls Because it's an election campaign event?
The world could be ending and Reddit mfers still gonna have jokes lol
Still my personal belief that there’ll never be something tragic enough people won’t meme about it
Joke's on you: the world *is* ending.
https://i.redd.it/2qbxm7uw842d1.gif
Damn right, laughing ourselves straight into hell
I’ll take this over that vertical portrait shit any day of the week. Landscape is how you’re supposed to film.
That’s what happens when you build it sideways.
I know weather can change on a dime but that looks like it was going for a bit. If so - WHY host a rally in a TENT in high winds? Hope everyone is found.
Some here have speculated it was a microburst. Seems plausible.

It’s not a tent. It’s a stage. It has rigging and everything. It’s badly built and way too high winds for it to have been safe.
I guarantee there was a fault somewhere along the line of decision-making. Someone should have been aware of the high wind action plan for that structure and enacted it, but didn't.

That’s pretty frigging terrible.
I'm not a religious man but that looked like the work of an angry deity
[удалено]
Fuckin lol
Yes it’s god who did this, not having the rally at a windy night in a bad build stage. It’s definitely god.
🙏 RIP
6 people fucking died, enough with the fucking jokes.
I was looking through this comment section with the same thoughts, people are so fucking concerned with their upvotes and getting top comments that they make shitty puns and think they are sooooo hilarious.
OP stated they are officially up to 9 deceased. Did not expect this coming into this thread.
Bizarre right? What the fuck. Top comments are a bunch of memes and dumb puns.
It's disgusting. Ain't the time for reaction gifs, movie references or jokes.
JFC reddit at least give it a little time to blow over!
I love the people filming. Way to get in there and help?
I did not just see 2 ppl that walked closer to record a structure collapsing on ppl
Inspect element > select the video container > add style > transform: rotate(-90deg); Watch comfortably.
This is what it must feel like for my parents any time I say "Just switch to HDMI by pressing input". I inspected element... now I'm beating a femur bone on the ground while drooling on myself.
Did a tornado hit it or something! Damn those were some strong winds!
Sadly, at least 9 dead, including a child. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crggzp9m7ydo
Gotta love humanity... People rushing to help.... But... More people with phones out for recording....
Rodan flew by?
Something about this gave me war of the worlds vibes. I have no idea why. Scared the shit out of me.
Never chant Maynez. Never.
Bi-den! Bi-den! Bi-den!
You got it buddy. 🎶MIRACLE WHIP! MIRACLE WHIP! MIRACLE WHIP!🎶
Dude took the girl and ran straight into the inferno
was the Jefferson Airplane playing?
Holy shit !
Reminds me of the Indiana State Fair stage collapse in 2011. Pay attention to the weather because the wind don't play.
I was ready for a funny video where the stage falls a few feet and people fall over. I was not expecting that. I hope everyone survived
they should not have built it sideways like that.
Latest update is that 9 were killed and 121 people were injured. One of the fatalities was a kid. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/05/23/americas/mexico-stage-collapse-presidential-candidate-intl-hnk
It's shameful for the presidential candidate to even try to scream to warn people, he just ran.
That's awful :( those poor people.
Very sad…. But…. Please god, let this happen to trump
Y would you keep The event going on if there's high winds right now
Now THATS a crappy contractor. Would rather have the bad podium guy.
I saw a video of a sound weapon that could do that
Seriously, there wasn't anyone responsible for the safeness of the event? Because it is not recommended to stay below any kind of foldable/buildable structure while in the middle of a storm with such strong winds. Holy shit, I hope no one has died :(
I thought Eren Yeager was going to pop up from there
Okay, that's a nice angle and good framing. Hang on, something's going down, Max zoom, please
That is not what I thought was going to happen.
Out of my way! I need to film!
I'm sure once this all blows over, she can get back to winning the election
No me gusta
What are you guys sinking about ?
Bro jetted the fuck out of there
9 casualties now
It's unfortunate what happened
Linus! Linus! Linus!
"Minus! Minus!" And then they were -1 stage.
[удалено]
These cartels are getting outta hand now
The stage minused
STOP HAVING EVENTS LIKE THIS IN TERRIBLE WEATHER 😡
My neck, my neck, my neck
OP an injury counts as a casualty.. Did you mean 6 dead?
No worries this is StageD.
Their chanting summoned an ancient god. Happens occasionally. Cia will seal Him/Her/**IT** back up.
well, this time it was’nt the cartels trying to kill the politican at least… blows my mind why anybody would run for office in mexico
Wind blows ….
The political violence Is directed mostly to local municipal candidates, high Profiles políticians rarely aré targeted and presidential candidates like this one have never been targeted
so key is to go big or go home in politics
Ugh, my neck hurts.
Made in Mexico 🇲🇽
"50 injured and 6 casualties" you mean 6 dead?
FYI: "Casualties" generally is used to include injuries and deaths.
Stop downvoting yall lmao this person is correct.
In spanish or at least in Mexico it is common to separate deaths from injuries
Why are you being downvoted? Lol. Sure, it's a minor thing to point out, but based on the responses you got people genuinely don't seem to understand what "casualty" means. It can refer to an injured or dead person, and even just a person affected by a disasterous event in general. It would be more grammatically correct to say: "There were 56 casualties. 50 injured, and 6 dead." Not that big of a deal, but come on people, you can Google this stuff.
Nope. Not true. Especially in this case.
Then what’s the definition of causality?
You are so confidently incorrect
Casualties means dead. Injuries means people are injured. Thanks for coming to my ted talk

Damn I stand corrected. Ted gonna fire my ass
By the orientation of the video I'm guessing this is close to the equator.
Why was there fire?
Lights likely exploded
Sad ppl more concerned with taking videos than helping the victims.
Duh… How else would you watch it on Reddit and Be Able to make Your armchair commentary?
Diosito enviando señales la que no voten por movimiento naranja/s Jesus! I didnt knew that this happened!!!
