DESCRIPTION

As warmer temperatures increase evaporation across the Great Lakes, water vapor condenses into clouds, releasing heat which intensifies wind speeds and rainfall. When these conditions combine with the remnants of tropical storms, Chicago braces itself for another ”stormageddon”. The Storm Surge Observatory at Promontory Point – a highly-reinforced viewing structure - enables a select few brave visitors to experience the sobering, exhilarating thrill of our planet's increasingly volatile weather systems. Try a storm-themed cocktail as you watch the dark clouds and monumental waves roll in, framed by spectacular views of the Chicago skyline.
