A Stormy Start to Beyoncé’s Chicago Show

Beyoncé’s show in Chicago faced a rough start as strong storms rolled in right before it began. People were moved from their seats because the weather was not safe.

There was thunder and heavy rain, and even a tornado watch. The concert was delayed, but it started again after the weather cleared up later that night.

They used clear steps to guide everyone without panic. Even with the hard weather and loud skies, the workers stayed calm and did their job right.
