Oof, that's a rough one. At least the flight you missed was the last one that was driveable. But still the last thing you want to do after a long day of delays and travel fuckery.
Flight to PDX has been delayed 4 hours so far. The inbound plane got diverted to Minneapolis earlier and just now threaded the needle between storm waves to make it into O'Hare finally, but the radar isn't looking good for us to make it out tonight. We are racing against a pretty nasty line of storms right now that's due to hit in about an hour. Inbound flight is still deplaning, so we shall see.
On the bright side, this tornado warned cell with a monster hook echo is heading directly for Chicago, so hopefully if we don't take off in time, it kills me.
Nice day for a walk in Everett.
I've got seasonal yard work planned for tomorrow and Saturday.
Also please send more "got the job" vibes, manifestations, and mediations my way please. Thank you.
Reed Timmer seems to think it will go big at least close to your area.
