Storms happen all the time, sometimes they happen to hit in a particular place at a particular time with particular conditions, and it's always 20/20 hindsight.
Again, you make it seem like these were just typical summer storms. They were not. This was well discussed on many weather sites before hand and there was a mivh higher risk of widespread severe storms than the typical summer storms. The low pressure that came up from Florida, which was predicted, enhanced these storms. This was well predicted and Delta did nothing to make Friday easier for its customers. This is just another example of poor Delta management and its customers suffering the consequences. I guess these meltdowns are just becoming routine for Delta.
