Tuesday, with hundreds of flights in and out of the East Coast cancelled overnight after thunderstorms struck the region and a deadly heatwave smothered the South.
Stewart Downey, 57, and her two children, Cameron, 24 and Dallas, 15, had been in New York to celebrate her son's coming 16th birthday. When they arrived at LaGuardia at around 4 p.m. ET for their 6:30 p.m. flight back to Minneapolis, the family noticed a string of flights being cancelled due to severe weather, but they held out hope their own journey would not be affected.
She said she and her family ended up having to take a Lyft, which she said Delta Air Lines paid for, all the way to Hartford, Connecticut, a nearly 2-hour drive, in hopes of catching a flight to Detroit and then, finally, to Minneapolis.Delta did not immediately respond to an overnight request for comment from NBC News.
