There was a tornado warning at Wrigley Field during the Cubs game as well. Same drill...everyone had to head for cover out of the stands.
At O'Hare they actually evacuated the control tower, leaving only one controller and one supervisor to handle things. (Most of the regional traffic is handled in a center in Elgin so there isn't much to do in the tower when no one is taking off and landing.)
As for us, we lost power at the house for about three hours. And the lightning alarms as well as the tornado sirens were going crazy.
So, it was a pretty serious storm in Chicago.
The newlyweds finally got home about three hours late.

I'm glad to hear that everything was okay but am sorry about the tornadoes. That does not sound like fun. At all.
And somebody had to stay up late to pick them up as well. Thanks to A. Nony Moose for going to the airport in the wee hours.
