A friend of mine was supposed to leave for NYC last night and is still here. All flights to NYC from Montreal have been cancelled. What the heck is going on down there???

Storms causing problems at airports..
a few hours ago it was pitch black here - as if it was midnight.... thought they were doing construction above, but it was thunder. But, its light out now. Maybe the planes are stuck wherever... That%26#39;s what kept me delayed in Toronto 2 weeks ago when it rained earlier in the day - we had to wait for a flight from Miami to come in.
Was supposed to have a date with an air traffic controller a year ago, but despite great phone conversation, it never happened... I know they%26#39;re wacko - but it would have been great to have some direct info about these delays - especially when I%26#39;m the one stuck on the tarmac.

There was a bad thunderstorm around 10 - 11, but I saw planes in the sky. It didn%26#39;t last long and it%26#39;s partly sunny right now.

Never took off, huh? That%26#39;s ok--probably a lot of baggage anyway.
wow - you%26#39;re good! missed that completely!
yes, children, ex wife - but I donk think he was wearing her blood around his neck in a vial. and probably no tattoos....
We%26#39;ve had a lot of dramatic thunder storms on the east end of Long Island the last few days. Thurs. night amazing sheets of water along with hail. It seemed to last forever (maybe an hour). Last night heavy rain and thunder on and off. Not too bad today although it keeps getting very dark and then the sun comes out.
Keep in mind that we have three airports within very close proximity of one another. All three airports are scheduled over their actual capacity.
When there are thunderstorms in the vicinity, even when the weather is pleasant in Manahattan, there are huge disruptions to the flight schedule.
Yesterday afternoon was fairly pleasant, we simply had a couple passing showers. LaGuardia and Kennedy saw a *huge* number of cancellations, some flights even diverted, others were six hours late.
A couple weeks ago some colleagues were heading out on a business trip. I was not involved with the project so I was enjoying a peaceful evening, dining outside with friends. Note, dining outside. I learned the next day that they%26#39;d spent all evening at Newark Airport, there were intermittent thunderstorms, everything was cancelled, it was sheer chaos. I don%26#39;t think it rained in Manhattan until 11:00PM, it was a brief passing mild thunderstorm. I don%26#39;t know what to tell you. Good luck.
