I think the local news, weather channel, etc are to blame for hyping a rain storm that turned out to be not that much. Although it seems like it did weaken from what it was in the southeast.
Anyway seems like most flights operated and I'm glad everyone arrived at their destination. I was pto make it down to Austin for some much needed BBQ and beer.

While I appreciate Delta's weather waiver and caution about inclement weather, the rain storm in NYC was mostly a nothing burger. I was booked on JFK-AUS 9am departure and all was perfectly fine. JFK was operating normally. a bit of wind and rain but nothing crazy. Take off was fine just a little shake of the tail in the first few minutes of climb. By 10K feet it was smooth sailing all the way.
