It was very windy at ORD and only one runway was in use. My flight to SEA was an hour late sitting from sitting and waiting.

I made it out about 2300 but man the CPT put the "pedal down" on that A320 on the way out and when we cut through the line on the way to MSN was probably top 2 worse turbulence I've experienced. Lady behind me threw up and the guy in 2A drink hit the ceiling and spilled on the lady in 1A. Applause from the cabin when we landed safely.

spent an hour in the penalty box at PIA waiting for a slot to ORD, listening to a guy going DYKWIA on the phone about his missed connection. Clearly it wasn't weather -- he could see the sun in peoria!

I was sitting in the lineup for 22L last night around 1930 (when we joined the queue we were #20 ) and saw two go-arounds. Like others said, it was pretty windy with some storm cells to the west. At least our DL Shuttle got in before the LGA curfew; the flight after us had to divert to JFK.
