DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: A huge snowstorm has hit the Midwest, causing a lot of problems, especially for a certain 727 that we are getting word has slid off the runway at O'Hare International Airport. For the latest let's go ahead and check in WGN's Marcella Raymond, joining us now from Chicago. Marcella, good morning.</s>MARCELLA RAYMOND, WGN REPORTER: Good morning, it is getting very dangerous here. We have just heard a report that a Sun Country plane skidded off a runway at Terminal Five here, our international terminal. No one was hurt, but they were obviously very scared. They have been evacuated as well. So O'Hare is evaluating its runways -- They are very icy -- to see if more should be closed. You can take a look outside. We will show you a shot. It is getting very, very nasty here in Chicago. We're expecting at least 1- 2 inches per hour to fall here and a total of about 12 inches of snow by the time this is all said and done. Initially, United, our largest airline here, and American, said that they were canceling about half of their flights. But the board is showing many, many, many more cancellations as the morning progresses because this storm is getting much worse. So, of course you know, as Chicago goes, so goes the rest of the nation. So you can expect those cancellations across the country as well.</s>KAGAN: Absolutely. We will be checking back with you, Marcella Raymond, WGN, thank you very much for that report.
