Nothing extraordinary; but the again, nothing extraordinary is required for EWR to go into to full melt-down mode.
Tornado watch in the Poconos now. I’m not sure how close to EWR the tornado watch is, but I can’t imagine it would be pleasant to fly through that. My parents Are trying to get from CLT-AVP. They boarded, then de-boarded, then re-boarded, and supposedly are taking off shortly.
