Passengers arrive in Chicago from Florida ahead of Hurricane Helene
Passengers arrive in Chicago from Florida ahead of Hurricane Helene
Hurricane Helene is strengthening as it makes its way toward Florida, where it’s expected to make landfall on Thursday.
CHICAGO – Hurricane Helene is strengthening as it moves toward Florida, where it is expected to make landfall on Thursday.
Some residents are evacuating Florida ahead of the storm and relocating to Chicago.
We caught up with one passenger late Wednesday afternoon. Originally from Chicago, she now lives in Naples.
Donna Pecci has been traveling for business and just returned to O’Hare International Airport from Arkansas. She is visiting family in the area before attempting to get back to Florida.
So far, her flight is on schedule, but she is bracing for possible delays.
“We’re headed back to pick up our dog and supposedly, supposedly it’s supposed to be out tomorrow,” said Pecci. “We are getting a lot of alerts and a lot of people back home saying that we are definitely kind of in the line of fire. Definitely going to get a lot of storms, a lot of wind. We’ve been through this before. We’ve been down in Naples now for about three years, full-time, and six years, part-time. So, we’re kind of used to it, but it’s always scary.”
More passengers are expected to arrive at O’Hare from Florida; one flight is coming from Panama City and another from Pensacola.

Newly appointed Florida Panthers President of Business Operations excited organization’s future
SUNRISE, Fla. — The new Florida Panthers President of Business Operations, Mike White, is settling into his role with the organization.
“This is a winning culture. It’s not coming in where we have to fix certain things — it’s more about amplifying those experiences that have already been created,” White said.
Before the Florida Panthers’ final game of the season, White spoke with WPTV Anchor and Panthers 360 host Mike Trim.

White was named to his position on March 31.
Trim asked White about his top priorities in his new role.
“There are two lenses by which you look at things. One is the advocacy of the fan — the fan is at the center,” White said. “We want to create a really great experience and a really great product for the fan to enjoy. The second is in support of hockey and hockey operations.”
White said he’s been busy in his first two weeks on the job.
Most recently, White served as Chief Product Officer at Amazon’s autonomous vehicle company. He also worked for 11 years with the Walt Disney Company in several senior leadership roles.
The Florida Panthers beat the Detroit Red Wings 8-1 in their season finale.
