PHL Ground stop?
 
Agent on the phone in the club just said something about a fire in the tower & a ground stop here in Philly - anyone know anything more? (The agent left after she got off the phone).

Due to OTHER / SECURITY, there is a Traffic Management Program in effect for traffic arriving Philadelphia International Airport, Philadelphia, PA (PHL). To see if you may be affected, select your departure airport and check "Delays by Destination".
sounds like an accurate description...should make PHL that much worse as it prepares for the upcoming storm...

so glad to be staying at home this Thanksgiving.

also major delays being reported at MCO for wx.
