CHICAGO O'HARE TORNADO WARNING | EVERYBODY IN SHELTER, BUT ME!
119,387
Published 2023-07-14
Here at Chicago O'Hare International Airport, a tornado watch issued by the National Weather Service played out before a tornado warning was issued.
More than 800 flights were delayed, 300 canceled at Chicago airports due to weather.
Everyone was sheltered in place, but me!
I captured the moment O'Hare Airport stood still at one of the busiest airports in the world!
There were tens of thousands of people stuck on planes, and it was required that aircraft not move
during the event. It's easier to assess the situation by the ATC in an already busy Control Tower.
The tornado in the video was an EF-0 on the southern part of Des Plaines near Rosemont.
It was first thought it was in Rosemont by media sources.
That EF-0 tornado traveled from Itasca to O'Hare Airport and from O'Hare Airport to the southern side of Des Plaines.
This video was recorded on Wednesday, July 12, 2023!

I think I would have had a major anxiety attack, I'm terrified of tornadoes, and being stuck on the tarmac, knowing that there were active tornadoes. I'm so glad no one was injured.
-
That was insane! I was watching Andy Hill and the MDW stream at the same time. The disaster this storm caused is unreal
-
Tornadoes can and do occur anywhere that strong thunderstorms can develop. This includes over big cities such as Chicago. In mountainous areas. And even in places that do not normally see tornadoes. Such as the northeastern part of the country.
-
The National Weather Service confirmed an EF-0 tornado traveled from Itasca to O'Hare Airport, an EF-0 from O'Hare Airport to the southeast side of Des Plaines just blocks away from Rosemont, It was first thought the tornado in the video was in Rosemont by media sources.

Prayers going up for everyone in the Chicago area and the surrounding area, too! Your brave being out there taping this tornado ๐ช๏ธ!

I think the most surreal thing is the airfield looking like a ghost town with all the planes stopped in place.
-
I live in Chicago and let me tell you that day after the tornado the skies looked so scary I was terrified something I never seen before people was out taking pictures because it was so amazingly scary ๐
-
I'm just in awe of that towering classic anvil thunderhead which was possibly a supercell thunderstorm.
-
That looked insane thanks for sharing
-
Wow! To see everything frozen and waiting.... hoping all is okay. Did you get anything recorded on when the ATC made the announcement on stopping everything? Great coverage & thank you for this. Good to hear all went okay. Be safe.

Omg I seen that on weather channel Iโm glad you guys are safe
-
Wow I just looked up Rosemont IL on the map and it's right on the eastern edge of the Chicago O'Hare Airport! I was last there in 2000. I live in Oklahoma, our tornado season is over now but this video reminded me of it and even gave me goosebumps. I hope everyone is safe.
