so
I got home from work tonight and printed out my boarding passes. Then I turned on the news.
Now I'm on hold with American Airlines, trying to find out if I can reschedule my flights tomorrow for some other date. Any other date. You see, I'm supposed to connect through Dallas-Fort Worth Airport. Which got hit by several tornadoes this afternoon. I'm not holding out much hope -- the website gave me a flat no -- but I'm trying.
I've been on hold for over half an hour so far without having gotten to a real human being yet... I suspect I'll be on hold for quite some time.
ETA: After well over an hour on hold, I gave up on contacting the airline tonight. 30 of the 110 planes damaged at DFW were American Eagle planes, which is the carrier I fly from DFW to Tyler. So I will get up early and check to see what my flights' status is, and go from there. If I don't go, wish me luck trying to get my flights rescheduled after the fact.
I don't mean to sound ungrateful. My almost 88-year-old mother, who lives two hours east of Dallas, barely got any wind, a fair amount of rain, and some pea-sized hail. She didn't lose electricity, even. She's fine. Which is an enormous relief.
Also, there were no deaths in the tornadoes. Which is rather amazingly wonderful. And I've never seen tractor-trailers flying through the air before.
