Stormy Stormy Stormy

Flew Southwest flight741 from Norfolk to Chicago. Severe thunderstorm warning covering all of the metropolitan area of Chicago. I threaded the needle down through the storms and lined up for an RNAV approach to 22L. So I come in over the stadium and downtown and start looking for runway lights. 15 miles out no lights. 10 miles no lights. 5 miles and descending no lights, still. About 3 miles out the clouds part and I see the runway come into view (Thank God!) Heavy crosswind as I come down to the tarmac. I slide her down to the asphalt and start slowing down. I turn off at the end of the runway and taxi back to the gates on the other side of the airport. I breathe a sigh of relief as I shut down the plane.
