A quick-moving storm blasted Staten Island with powerful wind and heavy rain on Friday afternoon, downing trees across the borough, causing power outages and wreaking havoc on the evening commute.
Air travel at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is facing significant disruptions due to a two-hour ground delay imposed by the FAA, primarily caused by adverse weather and wind conditions. As travelers prepare for the holiday rush, this delay has led to a ripple effect, impacting 268 flights, with 19 cancellations reported, which is about 22% of the airport's total operations. Doug Yakel, a spokesperson, indicates that while the FAA sets a two-hour delay, most travelers are experiencing around 30 to 45 minutes of wait time on average, highlighting a need for awareness as conditions fluctuate.
