PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Wind gusts, heavy rain and lightning have forced people to evacuate the media tents outside of the Wells Fargo Center and take shelter less than an hour before the opening gavel on the final night of the Democratic National Convention.

Officials say that the media tents in the vicinity of the Wells Fargo Center are not designed to fully protect people in the event of a direct lightening strike.

They’re strongly recommending that people leave their tents due to lightening that becomes a concern when the strikes are within a six-mile radius of the DNC and evacuate to Lincoln Financial Field nearby.

People are being told to exit through the magnetometer tents at the corner of 11th Street and Zinkoff Boulevard (north of the Media Pavilions) and enter through the Lincoln Financial Field 11th Street gate or the XfinityLive! gate just north of the 11th Street Gate.

If the DNC goes dark, Trump should pose for a picture holding an electrical cord just like that.

They have to use both spellings, the correct one, and the politically correct one. “Darkening” is offended.

Father in heaven please let the thunder storms and heavy rain hover on top of the convention center through the whole evening! In Jesus name amen!

> To have screens across America go blank in the middle of Clintons speech would be...priceless.

I’d bet they have people ready to “accidentally” cut the power if she goes into a coughing fit. I also bet she doesn’t speak 1/2 as long as Trump - no stamina to begin with and more likely to have a coughing fit (or worse) the longer she goes.

It's all that lying going on. Yeah, they ought to evacuate. Wouldn't want to be anywhere near their speakers when they are telling those whoppers!

Remember when during the ELCA Synod in Minneapolis a few years ago, when they voted to allow practicing sodomites as clergy, and a funnel cloud hit the building? That was a message sent. “I do not approve!”

That was my first thought, too. That innocent blood cries out to him day and night. He will take judgment if the evil continue to murder the unborn.
