Nearly missed trans-Atlantic flight Oklahoma to Chicago flight delayed for over 3 hours DUE TO STORMS , Can I complain? I would say not. Anyway it seems that my decision not to go with the team up to Nebraska was a good one. They encountered a large tornado and had both vehicles totalled. I would never had made my flight home. They took some shelter in a gas station. The station then got hit by Rear Flank Downdraft, which was related to the nearby tornado. They can't show their video clip because they are currently doing a deal with a tv company. The half mile wide tornado which we saw near Deighton, Kansas. It also had a smaller satellite tornado going around it.
