Storms Roar Through Northern Illinois

CHICAGO (AP) - One man caught at Chicago's Wrigley Field during last night's powerful storm says he'd "never seen anything like it."

Fans at the Cubs-Houston Astros game were evacuated from the stands as intense lightning, fierce wind and a torrential downpour battered the ballpark.

The game was called off after 8 innings -- and two weather delays.

Tornado sirens blared in downtown Chicago, and hundreds of flights were canceled at O'Hare Airport, where travelers were moved to lower levels of the terminals for safety.

In two counties west of the city, there was widespread tree and power line damage from the fast-moving storm. Trained spotters reported what may have been tornadoes.

No serious injuries have been reported.

Commonwealth Edison says more than 200,000 customers lost power at the height of the storm.
