Tropical Storm Debby has affected travelers at Logan Airport this week, delaying and canceling hundreds of flights.
The storm, a Category 1 hurricane when it first made landfall in Florida on Monday, has dumped more than a foot of rain in parts of the South and made landfall in others in South Carolina early Thursday. NBC News reported.
“The most significant threat to Debby continues to be flooding from heavy rains … worst today across parts of North Carolina and Virginia, and Friday farther north in the Mid-Atlantic & Northeast US,” the National Hurricane Center wrote on X Thursday morning.
As of noon Thursday, there were 129 delays and 10 cancellations at Logan, according to the flight tracking service FlightAwareand Wednesday saw 332 delays and 39 cancellations.
This week’s cancellations followed a chaotic weekend where as many as 25 flights were diverted to Logan due to the bad weather and passengers were left stranded. Some airlines permitted itinerary changes.
On Wednesday, continued cancellations and delays left passengers waiting in long lines and sleeping on the floor at Logan Airport, NBC10 Boston reported.
Rosa Godinho, who was flying Delta Air Lines, told NBC10 Boston that she spent the night at Logan Airport in Terminal A. She said all nearby hotels were sold out.
Massport wrote the following weather advisory about its warning page on Logan Airport and Worcester Regional Airport: “Due to Hurricane Debby, flights in and out of the southeastern United States may be affected for the next few days.
