the faa wireless site has been a godsend. ^ especially once when i was iad waiting to board where i could see thunderstorms rolling in (with lightning) and there was the faa showing a ground stop for about 90 minutes. i went to the g/a and asked if she knew anything more as i looked like a mis-conx down the road and she replied with "what ground stop". i showed her my cell phone screen where she looked stunned only to get confirmation by her gate phone ringing 10 minutes later
