A tornado touched down near Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, prompting passengers to take shelter and disrupting hundreds of flights. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
A confirmed tornado was on the ground around 7 p.m. Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service in Chicago.
Kevin Bargnes, director of communications for O'Hare and Chicago Midway International Airport, told WGN-TV Wednesday night that no damage was reported at either airport. "I'm in a 60 story apartment building so my options are somewhat limited," he said. "We have to, I assume, go into the core of the building.""There's a certain panic when you're watching a TV screen and everything is in red … but the hope is that the damage is minimal," he said.The weather service quoted an unidentified emergency manager as saying a roof was blown off in the community of Huntley in McHenry County northwest of Chicago.
