Here's the news website, and there's links to the video if you want to see it.

My Brother called me from Amsterdam Sunday, he flies a 727 for NorthWest Airlines and said that they had a 400 mile tail wind from New York to Amsterdam and that an 8 hour trip took them 5 hours. The wind blew him all over the runway at Amsterdam when the were landing. I guess that storm was pretty severe.
Call Al Gore...It probably was Globle Warming again!!!
Glad everyone made it home safe.
