Storms, Security Incidents Disrupt Houston Airport Flights

Severe thunderstorms and adverse weather caused major disruptions at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and Hobby Airport (HOU), with both facing ground stops and long delays for flights. At IAH, departure delays exceeded four hours and arrivals were delayed by over two hours, while HOU experienced a full ground stop with possible extension. A Flood Advisory was issued for the region, warning of potential minor flooding in low-lying areas due to heavy rainfall. Unrelated security incidents also impacted airport operations, including a security breach at IAH and a safety concern during a landing at HOU. Travelers were advised to check with airlines and airport authorities for the latest updates. The unsettled weather was expected to persist, potentially causing further delays.
