Flight Cancellations From Storm Highest In 25 Years

Luke 21:7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will all this happen? What sign will show us that these things are about to take place?” Luke 21:11 "There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and epidemics in many lands, and there will be terrifying things (that which strikes terror), and great miraculous signs in the heavens."

Editor’s Note: Prophet Rick Joyner warns that when you see strange and extreme weather (record breaking highs, lows, floods, droughts, tornadoes, storms), it is a prophetic sign that the Revelation Days are upon us.

The massive winter storms that shut down most of the eastern United States have now caused more flight cancellations than any storm in the last 25 years.

According to data from the flight tracking website FlightAware, 5.5% of all U.S. flights scheduled since December 1st have been cancelled because of the winter storms that have wreaked havoc from the Gulf Coast to the Canadian border.

At least 14,000 flights have been cancelled so far this week because of the most recent storm.

On Thursday, more than 70% of flights from Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and Charlotte were cancelled because of the dangerous icy conditions.  The record flight data since December 1st also notes that ice caused cancellations in airports where it normally has very little impact like Dallas and Houston.

Part the increase is related to a 2010 Department of Transportation rule that airlines may not keep passengers in a plane on the tarmac more than 3 hours.
