Something is not quite right here.

NY area airports were closed this evening...weather cited. However, no storms, and visibility according to forecasts is 10 miles...same as in Miami, FL where there are no delays.

Boston’s Logan, Baltimore Washington International, Newark, NJ, Chicago, O’Hare, Chicago, Midway, LaGuardia, JFK...Here’s the link for the airport delay information: http://www.fly.faa.gov/flyfaa/usmap.jsp

Checked out random weather forecasts for Miami, Newark, Boston...something isn’t right. Add to it the information that authorities think AlQ operatives might be either on their way, or here. Add to that Chertoff’s outrageous statement about a “gut feeling”. Add to that Brian Ross’ two reports regarding an attack...add to that, callmejoe’s latest posted info.

That is a bit odd. There is very little severe weather in the country as a whole right now. Though, there was considerable storminess up and down i95 DC-NYC earlier in the day.

And don't forget the stories about Syria pulling their citizens out of Lebanon by July 15. I'm afraid there may be a multi-level effort out there to throw things off balance, and that story might be connected to it as well.

Listened to report out of NYC news. It sounds like the delays have been ongoing since afternoon when there were storms. I think it does make sense. Once delays start they pile up at other airports and aren’t simple to erase.

Here is a thread on the NY area airports. They are saying it is a "ground stop" (whatever that is) rather than a closure, due to weather. But, if the weather is clear, than I agree something odd is going on.

We had a pretty big storm blow through Chicago right at rush hour.

Hopefully, it’s a weather issue.

Thanks for the ping.
