It seems that we're on ground stop at DFW this morning. It has always amazed me that whenever there is lightning anywhere within the same state as an airport (OK, I'm exaggerating, but not by much), they make all of the arriving passengers sit on the tarmac and wait for the lightning to end, as if all of the danger existed for the ground crew, and none for the passengers sitting in the aluminum gas can that is a modern aircraft..
My advice to anyone traveling in or out of DFW today: get here as fast as you can. If they're this far behind at 0735, you can bet that there will be cancellations of the later stuff.
