We are at O’Hare waiting to board a plane to Boston for our niece’s wedding.
Even in the cab heading to the airport, we could see the storm moving in. By the time we reached the gate, a dramatic cloud was overhead.
The heavens opened. Departures were halted.
It really came down. There was plenty of thunder and lightning.
I would rather be bored and on the ground than in the air at such times. I was once in a plane that was hit by lightning. Not fun.
The rain is tapering off, but I imagine we’ll be here for at least another hour. Fortunately, there is a Berghoff Cafe right near our gate.

Yes, when I fly, which is not too often, delays for one reason or another do occur. Airplanes are very, very complicated machines, and (toss in the variables of weather and air traffic) lucky is the traveler these days whose flights arrive and depart on time……………Hope your trip went well and a good time was had !
Celia says
Thank you, H. In the end, we got there. Storms complicated both our travel days, but it was well worth it given the marvelous adventures we had.
