Back From Vacation; Landing In This?!
After being off work and out of town last week, I was ready to come home to North Carolina Sunday…or at least I thought I was. The World spent half the week in Houston, Texas and the other half in Denver, Colorado at the American Meteorological Society’s Broadcast Conference…and it was a little weather that made the flight home interesting.
I left Denver in the afternoon connecting through Houston. Southeast Texas had plenty of thunderstorms that day which kept us on the tarmac in Denver for a while and also caused us to have to circle Houston while waiting on the storms to pass. In fact, we had to circle so long that at one point the pilot started talking to us about low fuel and diverting to another airport. Despite that talk, we did make it to Houston safely, but a little late. Those Texas storms backed up most of the flights at the airport, so we were late leaving for Raleigh…but when we did finally take off, here was the view waiting for us at 30,000 feet.
Before we left Houston for Raleigh, I checked the radar on my phone (yes, I am a weather nerd) and saw the deluge of rain the Triangle was getting Sunday night. I figured that we would once again circle RDU, run low on fuel and then have to divert to Charlotte.
Ummmmm….NO. This is what we landed in…
Thankfully, we once again landed safely (and bumpy), sure it was a little late and yes, my life did flash in front of me…but we were safe and I was back at work Monday sound as a pound. Lot’s of posting to catch up on…stay tuned!
