Before I left for China we got some pretty heavy rain in our area. There was a long stream of storms from as far south as the Gulf of Mexico winding up through the Chicago area and continuing past us through the midwest.

All Checked In

All Checked In

We made it through checkin and security very fast (total time was probably 20 minutes). My cases were not opened by security and ravaged like they normally are, so that was nice.
