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.

Yup, on the day of a 66.67% vote to cast aside Scripture, Holy Tradition, and the witness of the global orthodox church.

As Yogi Beara said, “It’s deja vu all over again”.

While I am sure the facility has emergency lighting, I doubt it has generators sufficient to power the full production AND all the cameras, dishes etc.

To have screens across America go blank in the middle of Clintons speech would be...priceless.>>> there are massive generators /or external air conditioners around the building.

And especially the evil climate destroying air conditioning!
I want to see the Dems sweat when the air conditioning goes
out. Their own John Kerry said it was the greatest
threat to Earth. Let them suffer for Mother Earth.

Be careful what you wish for. If Hillary were to have a heart attack or succumb to her precious TBI, whoever steps into her shoes would walk away with the presidency. I pray God keeps her safe for Trump to defeat.

The first time the Clintons went on 60 minutes (to lie) God almost took out Hillary with a stage lamp.
