I work at O'Hare and I can confirm it was a tornado a lot of things from the ramp were being pulled up and thrown over the roof of the terminal

[serethaharvey]

It passed right over the airport. I work there and it was massive. A few trees were down and I believe a few tugs were overturned

Calendar: It's hurricane season!
Tornadoes: Hold my beer.

I'm not a meteorologist, but at 1:33 I could see what looked like a massive funnel moving from right to left. It's hard to tell because of the rain.

Glad we just missed it by going on vacation yesterday. If we didn’t go on vacation my dad would have been working at O’Hare at the time. So greatful

At about 2:00 you can see something maybe it's just the clouds moving fast but it kind of looks like a tornado moving fast to the left

[carmierochelle]

That is definitely a tornado. You can see it moving from the right to the left. It moved in front of the lights on the bottom right. It's huge!!!!

Our 23 year old daughter was sitting on a plane on the tarmac during this storm (along with hundreds of others).

My dad is a pilot and was waiting for take off at o`hare airport he got some insane videos of this awesome storm

[caroline.may]

I was in the airport my brother is in a wheelchair and me and my mom ran out of the bridge from the plane to the airport as the tornado was on top of us..
scariest moment of my life. It sounds like a train and the floor starting coming up..

[garyb.]

I live 2 minute's away.... scary AF

[beckyann]

I was sitting on the plane as well the whole plane was shaking

It is people like you weather "nerds" that save lives. You are as much "First Responders" as are fireman and medics. I live in Ohio and it is "tomorrow" after your storm; we could get "some" weather tonight. The intensity in your voices came through loud and clear. I do pay attention to our storm warnings. Thank you.

i live near o'hare, my house got SLAMMED by the winds and rain. the lightning was so bright that when the power went out the house was still lit up. the sky was also flashing red, were those sprites?

[Bravasel]

Not me jumping down the stairs into the basement hopefully everyone is safe im also in DuPage County which makes us the affected area ❤

[alexcross]

Nothing worse than a nighttime tornado let alone a rain wrapped tornado at night. Can’t imagine the confusion of being there and having to guess if it’s a tornado or not. Luckily however tho a tornado size doesn’t always correlate with its strength, you can have a large size tornado that causes minimal damage. I think we would see a lot more power flashes and debris if it were stronger

[IkeCarlos-rc]

I slept right through it all and I’m right by ohare…

[drewski]

This is dangerous because its rainwrapped kinds kind of hard to see

[mariom]

Definitely looked like one moved across the landscape
