Tornado warnings clear stands at Wrigley Field


CHICAGO (AP) — A powerful storm led to tornado warnings in downtown Chicago and the evacuation of fans from the stands at Chicago’s Wrigley Field on Monday night.

The National Weather Service had not confirmed any tornado touchdowns. But it says trained spotters have reported high-rotation winds in DeKalb and Kane counties in northeastern Illinois.

Fans at the Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros game were evacuated from Wrigley Field’s stands into the stadium concourse as tornado sirens blared throughout the city.
