KPBI vs. Mother Nature
« on: July 14, 2023, 07:38:16 AM »
TGIF everyone !

Wow, what a wicked squall line we had yesterday in West Palm Beach, and as always, ATC were on top of their game.
The lightning/winds that rolled slooooooowly over the airport caused a lot of havoc.
Lightning hit one of the runways, leaving a pot hole, closing the runway, it also took out for a time
the runway lighting controls, runway direction change,  lots of holding patterns across the state and Atlantic ocean until it blew through.

Welcome to summer time in South Fla !!!
enjoy, and have a great weekend !
John
