Pretty rough weather earlier in MS; 1 tornado touched down with death and injuries. Supposed to be bad in AL & GA overnight. Be safe.

My bet is ATL will be closed for an extended period tonight with mass diversions affecting a lot of flights tomorrow ...

Sitting on the tarmac at MCO waiting for ATL to clear us. So far we've been given a 45 minute delay followed by an additional 30 minute delay.

And they just told us its going to be another hour. At least I cleared the UG. The crew is busting their tails to keep everyone pacified with drinks and snacks.
