Washington: After India, now the storm has wreaked havoc in America. Severe thunderstorms were reported in many parts of the country on Tuesday, due to which more than 7,000 flights were either canceled or delayed.
This number is increasing every minute due to the storm across the country. Its biggest impact was felt in the Northeast region. The most affected airline is United, with 37% of its flights delayed and 16% of them cancelled.
Over the weekend, the threat of tornadoes and hurricanes arose in states such as Ohio, Arkansas and Mississippi in the US. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ordered the cancellation of thousands of flights this weekend due to inclement weather in the Northeast.
Flight cancellations and delays continued on Tuesday as well. Last weekend, nearly 26,000 flights across all airlines were delayed and more than 4,000 canceled between Saturday and Monday after storms hit parts of the United States last weekend, according to data from flight tracking service FlightAware.
