Nearly the entire Chicago area was under some type of severe weather warning or watch Friday night as a line of intense storms raced through the area, leaving damage and flooding in their wake.
Much of that debris was left scattered throughout neighborhood yards. One of those homeowners explained what they're dealing with. Air travel in Chicago was also affected by the severe weather. There was an FAA-issued ground delay until 11:59 p.m. Friday, with an average delay of 233 minutes due to thunderstorms. Those issues lessened going into Saturday morning, with average delays at Midway and O'Hare under 20 minutes.
Gusts of winds were so strong that at one gas station the pumps seemed for a moment to be on the verge of going airborne, and trash cans and other unsecured items were pushed around and into drivers' paths.
