You might be right. Today's all flights from MDW to LAS and DEN are canceled. Tomorrow is worst with 40mph gusty winds.. My flight was Tomorrow. I think I made the right decision to cancel myself and was able to get my $$$ back.
I recall many years back think Southwest ran out of runway and ended on the road after crossing the barriers. No one was killed or seriously injured if I can recall. Yes those planes comes in Hot when landing and you always think when they going to stop.
I usually use Ohare for my travel.
