Fire in a facility it seems.

Yes, conflicting reports of wether there was actually a fire. The facility is about 30 miles west of O"Hare. I had two friends trying to fly home today from business trips, one from Ohio and one from Des Moines, IA. They were both able to get one way rentals for the day. The friend in Ohio was able to get a car for $130. Des Moines? $412 for the day.....

We're flying through Midway on Friday. Hope everything is back to "normal" by then.
