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.

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.

If that happens, they’ll blame it on Trump. And the Russians.

I don’t know when this trend of misspelling “lightning” started, but it really needs to stop.

If they forgot American flags, I wouldn’t assume they have generators.

Just saying …...

This convention has been a disaster for Hillary. Just another bad omen and sign for a campaign in big trouble, vote fraud or not.

It would be a shame if the earth were to split open and swallow the whole damn thing.

Lightning supposed to continue for a few more hrs...then a break.

The Philly Deluge supposed to be from 11 p.m. --> 9 a.m. ... all as conventioneers will be exiting.

Democrats, Jesus IS the ARK if you want to fess up to your personal and corporate sins & be saved from personal & corporate corruption!

Someone should warn those people that the magnetometer tents are rigged to lift e-mails and messages from cell phones...
