I'm booked CLE-ORD-ERW on Thursday in the later evening. Hope that this routing will get home before Friday.
I think I was on the second to last flight out of there last night, 17:00, CLE-DEN. When I arrived from FLL the reader board was all red except for my flight, and another one (cannot remember the destination). It was really strange, all those planes at the gates, not moving. The ramp personnel were amazing, working in 30-50 kts gusts, rain and 45d temps. They walked all the way out with the tug and waved us off. Those guys earned their beers last night, for sure. ^^^

Fortunate flight for me, there were long lines back in the terminal...
