Fourth of July celebrations were marred by chaotic storms disrupting flights nationwide. Approximately 89 flights were halted due to severe weather conditions across 15 states, with reports of tornado damage, hail, and high winds. Over the weekend, 900 flights were canceled or delayed, causing travel chaos. Passengers found themselves stranded, enduring long queues and sleeping in airports. United Airlines faced criticism as its CEO jetted off on a chartered plane while customers suffered. The storm’s impact extended to road travel, with the potential for disruptions along the I-95 corridor. This serves as a reminder of our collective preparedness in the face of unexpected challenges.
