Lollapalooza Time-Lapse Weekend, Storm Videos

Raf Winterpacht set up a GoPro camera in his office across from the park to capture all of the comings and goings and sturm and drang of Lollapalooza over the last weekend, including Saturday's storm that caused the temporary evacuation of Grant Park.

Just want to see video of just why Lollapalooza got everyone out of the park on Saturday? Saturday's storm that evacuated Lollapalooza darkened skies to the point where street lamps lighted across Chicago and bent tree boughs to their limits was impressive for how fleeting it lasted as it was its power. Here's time-lapse video from Angus Finlay showing the tempest roaring across the lakefront.
