we have tons of crews from/in the northeast, spending the weekend stuck in random cities, yet not one has replied to this thread. That means everyone is enjoying their overnights! That is awesome!

On drive home on the Turnpike earlier was "freaked out" by the sight of NO airplanes in EWR! (except for Air India's and El Al's 777's). TWO airplanes, that was it! Weird. In between bands now, and window has been leaking ALL night! The next few days are going to be a MESS!

repo'd an airplane to KLEB yesterday and am spending the weekend. Day two of sitting in a hotel room with nothing to do cuz pool is closed due to flooding. Thankfully, that's the most I have to complain about. Hope everyone is staying safe! Good thing there's a liquor store next door... Two six packs of shocktop down, two to go...

No idea, I drive in, if for some reason this isnt CX I will just leave early and take my time getting in. The George W is open and that's all I need. We are still in the dark out here, the local airport by me all the GA planes are under water its fully flooded, a ton of majors roads out here are under water. The hurricane wasnt bad but the flooding is terrible right now, worst I have seen in my life time up here, we have semi major roads on the mountain near the rivers that got partially wiped away.
