## Resource

Severe thunderstorms forced a ground stop at Tampa International Airport, grounding all flights for safety as lightning and heavy rain made tarmac operations too risky. Over 45% of flights were delayed, stranding travelers—including one man desperate to reach his daughter for an emergency—while incoming planes circled or waited at departure points, triggering nationwide ripple effects. Operations resumed around 4 PM once the storm passed, reminding everyone that safety always comes first when the skies turn dangerous.
