Our flight was originally departing FTL at 5:30 p.m.. However, with Isaac getting closer we decided to jump on an earlier flight. We left at 11:45 a.m. instead. The wind was sure blowing and rain was coming down in sheets on and off again. Although Ft. Lauderdale wasn't in the cone of the storm, local meteorologists say you can feel the storm's effects 100 miles away. A tornado watch was also in effect. Gratefully, our flight went smoothly taking us to sunny Houston, Texas for a layover. That was also my first time in Texas. I know it's only the airport, but it still counts.
Hello Des Moines. Hello reality.
