Much of Monday’s White Sox/Royals game was played in drenching rain, with a severe thunderstorm warning having been issued for an area that included Guaranteed Rate Field. Why on Earth would you play baseball through this?
AT 212 PM CDT, A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WAS LOCATED OVER WOODRIDGE, OR NEAR BOLINGBROOK, MOVING EAST AT 35 MPH. THIS STORM HAS A HISTORY OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND WIND DAMAGE.
HAZARD...PING PONG BALL SIZE HAIL AND 60 MPH WIND GUSTS.
