There's going to be some panic there seeing a sky like that and getting an evacuation order.

Storm looks to be moving into Indiana now.

Was just told by Soldier Field employee that concessions were stopped because TOO MUCH beer was being sold.

Apparently panic translates to buying more beer.

Some fans are staying at the stadium until the danger passes.

Concessions still closed for fans sheltering on concourse at Soldier Field. It's going to be a long wait.

I can just imagine football matches here going ahead if there was a tornado warning.

Once the danger is passed and if there wasn't any damage at the stadium, they don't necessarily need to cancel the game.

Lots of damage done yesterday. Few casualties fortunately, but my thoughts and prayers with the families of those who were killed.

NFL kick off times are based on EDT/EST Time Zone, Chicago's Time Zone is CDT/CST 1 hour later than EDT/EST. Is it unusual to have Tornados this late in the year, normally they tend to be March-June?

Yes very unusual to have them so widespread, it was pretty warm in that area yesterday.

Whereabouts? It's a huge country and most parts are unaffected.
