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.

I was very close to a lightning strike and let me tell you, it “lightened” up a lot!
Bol! I’m such s a horrible speller, I never even noticed that ‘lightning’ was wrong.
Otoh, my auto correct thinks it’s okay. Maybe it’s become alternative spelling?
But Trump will steal the thunder. (rimshot)

With a little bit of luck, perhaps Crooked and Corrupt will get to meet al-Lah who is Saytan as the Moham-madmen know him.
DNC? God’s not amused. ZOT!
Woo hoo! Delicious!
Anyone have a delicious pic like a lobster dinner or something to bring to this thread?
Storms now moving out of No. Virginia —I would assume it’ll be stopping in about an hour in Philly —
The Democrat Party has issued this response: "It's not who we are."
Lightning is correct, but the body of trhe article uses “lightening” twice, which is a word, but has a totally different meaning.
I’m less than 80 miles west and it was raining like double vained cow on a flat rock. Lightening took out my breaker. GO GAII (?). Drown them rats!!
LOLOLOL!!
Real Wrath of God Stuff...
Let’s see what God has in mind. P>In the meantime, Warren has told Debbie she could stay in her teepee.
“People are being told to exit through the magnetometer tents at the corner of 11th Street and Zinkoff Boulevard” ...and slither back into the dark places from which they came.
I think it’s just considered rare but not archaic. So I’m with you.
Poetic Cosmic Justice?
I hope their Super Dangerous Air Conditioning goes out first

More dangerous than ISIS I’ve heard.
