Flight Report: American Eagle ERJ/EMB-145 ORD to RIC

After a great vacation in California, we began our last leg from Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) to Richmond International Airport (RIC) aboard an American Eagle ERJ-145. 

There were a lot of thunderstorms around the airport, with lightning striking very close by, even occasionally on the airfield. Because of this, we were delayed arriving and departing from Chicago.

Boarding our plane in Chicago

We had a nice departure out of Chicago, it was no longer raining, but it was still wet everywhere. It almost being sunset, the sky began to turn which was nice. During our ascent, we flew over some of the most incredible clouds I've been in thus far (shown in the photo below). Here is the video from our flight of taking off at Chicago O'Hare.
