Britain to Eastern U.S. flights suspended

I saw this on cnn and the weather channel here in mexico. Man, what a storm. I have friend sin New York. I hope them and everyone else make it through that ok.

Best wishes to those on the eatern seaboard for the next few days. I hope this isn't as bad as they are making it out to be. They seem to have had some time to prepare and I hope that will mean less mishaps. I will be thinking of them and hoping this goes over without alot of damage or deaths.

I am central in the US so I am relatively safe but I am glad that we can get updates on our friends by way of the internet. I know way too many people here online that I might worry about. It is good that precautions are being taken early on.

Yeah. Nothing is flying in or out of here. I've been keeping tabs on the weather since yesterday. We took what precautions we could, and we have now relocated to a hotel, because where we have been staying simply is not somewhere that seems wise to remain if the winds reach the intensity that has been forecast.

This 'frankenstorm' come with plenty of punch, heavy rain, strong wind, high tide and cold chill from the north. Some part of the eastern costal region had already flooded with knee high water on the public street, while it is just the beginning stage, the damage is quite extensive already, you can imagine the aftermath when the storm will only pass after another one or two days by at least Tuesday. It is too dangerous to fly in this condition, at least four thousand of flights had to be cancelled from and to the eastern seaboard airports yesterday, airlines are not taking any chances on this one.

They say that more than 7000 flights started from the eastern U.S. were suspended 28th Oct due to Sandy is impending and the stock market will be closed down for one day on Monday.I don't know how many places are in the path of this hurricane.

It looks like they are expecting some really bad weather.Let's hope this is just a precaution and there's not to much damage and nobody gets badly hurt.Though the weather forecasts don't look very promising.And Air Lines wouldn't cancel flights unless they were pretty sure that the bad weather was likely.The airlines primary motivation is making money. They would only cancel the flights if they thought there was a chance of losing a plane in the storms.anyway at least they are putting the safety of there passengers before their profits.
