Possible tornado in Chicago tomorrow for Bears vs Ravens

[Smart]

It looks like a fucking monsoon there right now and the rain is swirling. They got it worse than I did here in St. Louis, and our storm spawned multiple tornados about 30 miles east of here. Hopefully, nothing hits the heavily populated areas of Chicagoland.

I am playing the Ravens D....what happens?

 

[JDM]

Fuck that. Play through that shit.

Just saw pictures of Peoria (from the band that hit Chicago). It looks bad and sounds there might be multiple, if not many, fatalities. It sounds like Chicagoland got lucky.

Why this game wasn't moved to 315 is a joke. They couldn't get the tarp on the field. Hope it's a swamp because I got the under

No reason to not play football right now. I can understand them stopping the game but its been safe for quite awhile now. Come on NFL...

 

[JDM]

They should have never stopped it.

Football is for men who can deal with a little weather.

It was delayed because of the Tornado issues we were having.

This is not acceptable. Weather is not a legitimate reason to cancel a football game.

Pretty crazy weather over here. Sucks I have to wait around till 3 PM for my Hawks but it's pretty gusty. Walked outside in my shorts (naturally run hot, guess I'm blessed with great circulation) and everyone was giving me "WTF?" looks. lol.

And I don't think the Bears game was delayed because of tornados... there was no risk of it hitting at Soldier field, it was delayed because of lightning.

There's football on and I'm watching the weather channel. Fuck! I'm officially old.

You've become a statistic. Welcome to the club.

That happened to me when I called Comcast bitching about why my TV was out and the tech came out, noticed the co-ax was not inserted, proceeded to make me feel better, only to know himself that it was a "Another one of those assholes" stories over beer with his friends.

Damn we must have been lucky here in columbia because its 65 and not a cloud in the sky. What a day.

Are you even from here?

Not from here, but just moved here about 3 weeks ago. Please educate me on way I'm wrong though, lol. Trying to get as familiar as possible with Chicago. Mostly from what I've heard it's only crazy snow/blizzards, but not many tornados make their way in the city.

Also I'm a Hawks fan, so I have no loyalty or awareness to what the Bears are doing outside of losses.

Tornados are rare, snow/blizzards are not.

The game was cancelled because of severe weather/tornado warnings. 17 different tornados reported all around the Chicago area.

Yah I heard tornados were double digits, but didn't think they were near Soldier Field. Thought it was because of lightning. Ah well, either way I'm wrong lol. Thanks for the update.

How close was the nearest tornado touchdown to Soldier Field? Last I saw the closest one was 65miles away.
