All is quiet at Penn Station - for now
Reporter Sam Sessa took a quick trip over to Penn Station and called in to let us know that it wasn't too crowded. Only about half the benches were filled with waiting travelers and most of the trains were on time, except for Train 20 (the Crescent) from New Orleans, which was running about 2 hours late arriving in Baltimore. If you're taking Amtrak's Empire Corridor service north of Manhattan to Albany, there is a significant delay on that stretch. Trains from Baltimore/Washington to Boston and NYC - the Northeast Corridor - are not affected.
Outside Penn Station, Sam reports several travelers waiting for the BoltBus headed to New York. They didn't have to wait long, the bus arrived just as he was starting to talk to folks. Guess things are going smoothly there too - for now.

Any updates now that its after 4?
It looks like a few more flights are delayed, based on BWI's Web site. South Florida has been having some rough thunderstorms this afternoon, so flights down that way have been severely delayed. There was a ground halt late this afternoon because of the weather. Otherwise, it's the usual suspects for delays: New York, Boston and, it seems, Philadelphia. -MDZ
