Hard to tell. A line of storms went through which appears to have shut down the airport for 1-2 hours.

Now it's operating again, but everything is backed up royally.
And there's another line of storms (smaller than the first, but will still wreak havoc) on the way (looks to me like they are maybe an hour out).
Also: fly.faa.gov says there's a ground control program (no surprise) in Chicago due to the weather. This is causing planes to be held up at their departure point. I *expect* that hold time should start decreasing, at least for now, with the temporary of storms, but I'm expecting some cancelations this evening because Chicago is so backed up it can't get everything in/out.
I was supposed to leave Dallas (looks at watch) a minute ago. Now estimated to leave almost two hours late. (The plane is coming from Chicago as well)
