This is historical wind speed for Elsa. Right now the storm is moving into North Carolina. After passing below Hispaniola, Elsa never regained hurricane wind speeds again.
For my sister, she actually left Florida Tuesday evening after the soccer tournament was completed early. They were on the second to last flight out of Sarasota airport before it shut down for 12 hours overnight. Since it was a connecting flight, they had a layover in Dallas (DFW) for about three hours.
One think you need to know about John Wayne Airport (SNA) is that there is a curfew from 11:00 pm to 7:00 am. This is primarily due to the rich white people in Newport Beach. The airport was originally built in 1923, but then people started building houses nearby. Those houses became super expensive, rich people moved in, and they wanted to shut down the airport. So an agreement was signed that limited the operations of the airport, primarily for noise abatement. This means if your flight is delayed for any reason and your arrival time is after 11:00 pm, you are going to Los Angeles International (LAX). This happened to me once before, also from DFW, and it added about 3.5 hours to my trip.
For my sister’s flight from DFW to SNA, of course there was a delay. They boarded the plane on time, but due to some maintenance issue, their plane sat at the gate while maintenance crew worked on the plane. Finally, the were able to take off late, but still in time to make SNA curfew. Good thing since I did not want to drive to LAX late at night to pick them up. There would have been a bus to transfer them from LAX to SNA, but airport buses are no fun.
