1:43 p.m.: Fans asked to leave Doubleday Field

At 1:43 p.m., officials asked fans to exit Doubleday Field -- which was filled nearly to capacity at that point -- and seek shelter because of "imminent severe weather."
Officials said the Hall of Fame Game between the Cubs and Padres would start as soon as the weather improved. It was orginally scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.
But as fans began to file out, officials announced that fans seated in the grandstand behind home plate could remain in their seats -- bringing a loud cheer from those fans and a chorus of boos from those seated in the uncovered bleacher seats down the first and third base lines and in the outfield.
Rain continuedto fall at Doubleday Field, and lightning was visible throughout the area.
