My son was flying back from Columbus, OH last summer and I was going to pick him up at Midway. The plane should never have taken off, because there was a huge and strong storm covering all of Indiana. I watched it on Flight Aware. You should have seen the convoluted path they flew waiting to get around the storm. They were even in Michigan for a while and I thought maybe they were headed to Detroit. After all that flying around, they didn’t have enough fuel to make it to Chicago and went back to Columbus.
I was stuck in Columbus for an extra 2 days because of that winter storm last Christmas.
Daughter #2 occasionally goes to Detroit and Cincinnati on business. For a time she was flying out of O’Hare. Now she drives- it’s less of a hassle for her.
I picked up daughter #1 from O’Hare this afternoon, she came in from Kansas.
That place is a freaking mess. White knuckle driving at its finest…
