(85,373 posts)9. Hurricane Sandy wreaks havoc on airline flights
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/hurricane-sandy-wreaks-havoc-on-airline-flights-2012-10-26?siteid=YAHOOB
Flight cancellations and alerts for travel in Hurricane Sandys path are already in place and more are on tap for the weekend should the storm stay on its trajectory toward Boston, New York and eventually Delaware.
US Airways already has cancelled flights to and from Jamaica, which was hit hard by Hurricane Sandys 105 mph winds, knocking out 70% of the islands power. The airline also has canceled flights to the Bahamas.
...forecasters are 90% certain that the storm will hit land on the East Coast this weekend and early next week, though its still too early to predict exactly where.
