As Hurricane Helene approaches Florida, causing airport closures and flight cancellations, travelers are feeling relieved as they safely arrive back in Connecticut. Kathy Morales and Fernanda Pinto expressed their gratitude for making it back in time despite the weather conditions. Other travelers had to make alternate plans due to canceled flights.
One traveler, Nelda, had her flight canceled and had to drive to Orlando to catch a flight to Connecticut for her grandson’s birthday. Edward Medina, who lives in Florida but is from Connecticut, shared that he took precautions before leaving home to protect his property from potential flooding.
Stamford-based organization Americares is sending a response team to Florida to support health needs in the affected areas in the aftermath of the storm. They plan to deliver medicine and relief supplies to those in need. The U.S. Director of Emergency Response at Americares, Mariel Fonteyn, emphasized the importance of providing help to those most affected by the storm.
Travelers are advised to check with their airline carriers for any changes to their itineraries if they or their loved ones are traveling from Florida. With Hurricane Helene approaching, it is essential to stay informed and prepared for any disruptions in travel plans caused by the storm.
