## Resource

After the America 250 celebrations ended, millions headed home — but for hundreds at Tampa International Airport, the journey hit a snag with massive flight delays and cancellations, forcing travelers to extend their Florida stay. The chaos wasn’t isolated — severe storms nationwide caused gridlock at major hubs like Chicago, Houston, and New York, as Triple-A reported a record 72 million Americans traveling for the holiday. Families from New York and Oklahoma faced hours of waiting, some even stuck for two days, passing time with chess and snacks. While some made it home on time, for many, weather and the holiday rush made travel a real headache — but hopefully, everyone stayed safe and comfortable in the end.
