Severe weather is wreaking havoc on post-holiday travel, affecting millions of travelers trying to return home this weekend. With storms sweeping across the country, thousands of flights have been either canceled or delayed, leaving passengers stranded and causing widespread disruptions at airports throughout the U.S. The ongoing weather challenges are making an already busy travel period even more stressful for those hoping to make it back after the holidays.
On Saturday, more than 7,000 flights in the U.S. were delayed, and over 200 were canceled, according to the tracking site FlightAware. The widespread disruptions were caused by severe weather conditions affecting airports across the country. According to FlightAware, about a third of the flights were delayed at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia. Nearly half of the flights departing from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport in Texas and George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas, were also delayed due to the severe weather.
