Hurricane Dorian upended Labor Day travel plans for hundreds of thousands of people in the Southeastern U.S. Monday, as fierce winds and torrential rains forced widespread cancellation of rail service and airline traffic.
According to FlightAware, a flight-tracking website, airlines canceled 1,152 flights on Monday. The hardest-hit airport was Fort Lauderdale International in Florida, which closed at noon Monday and where 543 flights were canceled, three-quarters of the airport’s total scheduled for the day. Daytona Beach International Airport and both Orlando International Airport and Orlando Melbourne International Airport also closed Monday.
