The Rocklahoma music festival rocked on today in spite of a storm that collapsed two side stages and caused a 2½-hour rain delay yesterday afternoon.

The festival resumed this afternoon and all 122 bands that were scheduled to perform will take the stage after three new side stages were built this morning. Rob Miller of Event Marketing Group, spokesman for the five-day festival that ends tonight, says the first act took the stage at 1 p.m.

Yesterday's storm struck at about 5:45 p.m. Miller says it seemed to come form nowhere. he says part of the grounds are still a little bit muddy.

Winds in excess of 65 mph collapsed two temporary side stages. No one was injured due to the collapse although one woman broke her arm as she was running for cover from the rain, slipped and fell.
