My girlfriend is working in Toronto on a project and comes home on the weekends. Her flight leaves toronto, has a layover in Detroit and then comes to Dallas. Her flight has been cancelled. The building she works in is still blacked out, but she does have power in her hotel. Also, I've been getting a busy tone about half the time I call her cell, but their landlines are working fine. She also told me that the gas stations are closed because the pumps haven't gotten electricity to run them.

This is the biggest interruption to the airline industry since 9/11.

Just thought I'd give an update [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
