WRIGLEY BALLHAWK 8/04/08 CUBS VS ASTROS

[alexcubs25]

I love how you look at the phone to see the evil cloud of death approaching

[BigClubPenguinFan300]

0:21 Oh SHIT! D:

[ArneZiffel]

I watched it on radar AND the Game on TV. In Rolling Meadows. Looking south, the lightning was the most intense I ever saw and I'm 52 now. Most these vids don't show how viscous the winds were. It looked like a damn hurricane. I actually went to the cellar with my Police Scanner and found they had pad locked it to keep bums out and kids from playing in there and stealing peoples storage for the apt complex. Oh well. What a night.

wrigly siren: Federal Modulator

Siren in alternate wail in the background: Modulator

Fire truck siren: Fedeal eQ2b in yelp

[desertrat1111]

Hey.. its the Midwest.. tornadoes happen

[varietyvid]

Reminds me of Cloverfield

[E68Rehab572]

haha nice video if i was in ur situation i would have went to E78 house to. lol

[futurecfd68]

It was nice of the firemen to let you stay in the firehouse

[mariopoolpoop1]

i would have been sooooooooooooooooo scared!!

[begolatman]

Correct me if Im wrong but I think it was the Fire Engine providing the warning siren!

[troshs]

@begolatman nope. that big white thing at the end was the siren.

[gwenrocks1234]

0:36 RUN LIL CUBS FANS RUN I HATE THE CUBS GO SOX but anyway wat the heck is that tornado sirons that u hear cuz they sound like war 1`s

[laura20022004]

it was beautiful now but now it's just Hell

[Theweatisheat69]

that storm was on my moms birthday and the cubs lost to bad

[EdReedFan20]

All that's missing is a Cloverfield monster.

[laura20022004]

awesome video this is insane

[redrdr4life]

Wow and they still finished the game

[ALFfan1]

I live 90 Miles from Chicago. I was in that storm before, When it struck, I was at a Gamestop. While I was At Taco Bell I lightning struck the parking lot

[Hiei2k7]

I used to live in Mt Carroll, 120 Miles directly west of Chicago. Family still lives there. Dad called, said sky was green for miles around when it rolled over.

[loryr405]

i got that storm. scary stuff. but its a night ill never forget.

[ZaCKisAPlaYeR]

WOW!! i live in princeton illinois just 3 hours from chicago and i dont really remember having a storm that day but ya.... luckly nobody got hurt. and i like the way the siren is it sounds funny lol.. but what was with the firetrucks?

[whelenvortexr4]

there a thomas dealer there

[crowamonghens]

the best thing ever would be if the scoreboard fell forward onto a throng of fratboys.

[cril1001001]

0:18 : epic!

[tonyromo213]

i was thyere

[czk310]

kool thats a federal signal modulator 8 series, gotta love it, its my text message ring, lol

[HauntedGhostLady]

This is the best video I've seen of the action at Wrigley that night.

I thought they called the game then and there - it had to be close to midnight when they let people back in the park; why did they bother with that the way the lightning was that night? I agree with ButterBarre there.

[ZaCKisAPlaYeR]

that was the tornado dude

[frankie2962]

Great video i like when he shows the radar on his cell phone. The calm before the storm.

[aavh1993]

yup i was there

=]

[sparkmark1]

I was at my summer camp in Frankfort. We stopped our dance and had to go into shelter for an hour or so.

[IknowDannyToo]

kinda reminded me of cloverfield when you were running

[Hockeysuperfan2008]

NICE VIDEO DUDE: MAYBE you should get a reality show like "dancing with the ballhawks" or "Who wants to marry a ballhawk?"

[azulcrema77]

great video man.

[ButterBarre]

No way in hell or high water is the game delayed that long through all that mess if the Cubs are winning instead of the Astros. What absolute BS and stupidity.

[SIMIHIGH2008]

dang that sucks u couldnt get ur money back haha

[samsone307]

Fukudome didnt like tht one bit!

[ballhawknet]

didnt like what ????

[angishereeee]

i was here. you have the best video of the storm, by far. mine and my boyfriends family decided to leave after it started raining and as soon as we got outside, the sirons went off. we ran into the firehouse and stayed in the basement of it. this is a night ill definitely never forget!

[mycubseason2008]

You are at 15,000, I cannot believe it, our tornado clip only has 10,000, I think it was the part with the weather radar on the cell phone, nice touch.

[mycubseason2008]

14,000 plus views, great video, you hit it on the head

[sk8r4lifeyo]

my gf was there during that!

[hockeyboy6996]

lol somewhat sober

[ballhawknet]

As I entered the park after the delay I overheard that on the security walkie talkie " as long as they have a ticket....and are somewhat sober they can re enter " ....

[Girrocks002]

yea this is very very rare for chicago to have a storm this bad but a year or so ago it was a little worse then this 1!! but this is really really bad! I WISH I WAS THERE! o well

[rubberbandman03]

Im am so pissed off i went to my friends house right b4 it all started, and his mom was like telling us to go into the basement so we couldnt see nothing

[ELfabio5]

damn my sister lives like 3-4 blocks awy i didnt know it looked dat bad

[Girrocks002]

dude that was awsome i wasnt there but when i put it in fullscreen i feel like im there doing all the stuff u where doing but i wish i was there!!!!!! o well my house got hit really hard XD

[saluki5711]

wait so did you have a ticket or did you just sneak it after the first delay

[aveneged7x]

[ELfabio5]

[davidlee110]

Way too crazy

[zipser]

This shit was like Cloverfield, haha. nice job man.

[Blue10AEMia]

You can see the siren at 2:20.

[BellyLover06]

I think you can also see the other one at 1:50

[troshs]

@BellyLover06 theres two?

[BellyLover06]

@troshs Yep, there's one at 1:50 and 1 at 1:05 (it's the blurry white thing way in back). If you visit the link I'm about to PM you and follow the arrow straight ahead, you should see it.

[troshs]

@BellyLover06 i see one siren...lol i meant to ask if there were two modulators...can only find one :)

[BellyLover06]

@troshs Must be the same siren but two different angles then.

[troshs]

@BellyLover06 yeah i think so. i cant see a reason to put two of these on either side of the field.

[jeffer589]

Reminds me of Cloverfield

[weganstainpville]

i was at this game and thought it was the coolest thing ever, i am a astros fan and i live in Texas so i see that kind of stuff all the time,by the way that was my first trip ever to wrigley field

[aveneged7x]

[nascar244831]

im actually a astros fan, i almost went to this game. im so glad we didnt but i get to go to the astros brewers game on the 20th!! first row!

[cubsfan1591]

if i was tere, i wouldve found a seat closer to the field

[trev0rcRs]

i was at my house watching the game when our siren went off everyone in the closet and then the lights went off scary crap...(nothing happend passed then)

but also great video

[EvanescenceRocks229]

I was at the game too! I was in section 403 so I was really afaird wen that tornado siren went off!! That is deef a game I'll never forget!!

[basseth23]

i was at that game, it was the bottom of the 5th inning and we left becouse i felt sick, so when we got in the car, my friend called me and was like get in the basement now! but i couldnt becouse i was in the car, so we went into a resteraunt , becouse there was a funnel cloud right above us. Now im glad i was sick.

[HeadTater]

This will be the only time in history that I will ever say this, but for once, I'm glad I wasn't at the Cub game.

[dnzg66]

Thanks for uploading this. Great video.

[mycubseason2008]

Great video, I like the rain shot at 126-130, massive rain. Sirens are great too
