During the tornadoes that happened in Dallas, I was at my aunts house in the suburbs. I didn't even know about the tornadoes because I was having such a good time with my family. I was totally unaware of the horrid weather.
Two days after Christmas, I had to fly back to O'Hare to go home to Chicago.
Me and my dad get to the airport and we are going to security, and I forgot to take my belt off during the security scan. So I had to get patted down. I was mad uncomfortable lol.
We finally get to our gate and they say that the flight to Chicago is delayed. I guess I didn't really mind because I thought that it was only going to be like a five minute thing.
We ended up being delayed about an hour and a half.
Our plane is finally ready and we board. Overall it was a nice flight, until I hear a flight attendant say that we're going to land in Michigan because O'Hare isn't letting any planes in.
My reaction: Michigan?!!!!????????!!
At this point I was highly upset and just ready to go home. We landed in Michigan and waited for about two hours there.
Finally, my dad just said that we were going to get a rental car and drive back to Chicago.
The weather was so bad. It was hailing, raining, and there was snow on the ground.
Every five miles you could see that someone had slipped off the road.
We finally get back to O'Hare to get y dads car, and we have to wait like half a mile in slush. My socks got so wet.
You can imagine how relieved I was when I got home.
That day was just so insane and I hope it never happens again lol.
