Blue Grass (KLEX), Lexington, Kentucky: Storms Cause Issues At Airport

Overnight storms caused a travel nightmare for passengers flying in and out of Lexington's Blue Grass Airport Wednesday evening and Thursday morning.

Strong storms prevented overnight flights from arriving in Lexington. As a result, aircraft for departing flights in the morning weren't available.

Airport officials say six flights canceled overnight. Four incoming flights were diverted to other airports. Lightning also knocked out some runway lights, but officials say everything still meets FAA standards.

According to the airport website, there were at least four cancellations and two delays Thursday morning. Delta flights to Detroit, Washington Reagan and Atlanta were scrubbed, along with a U.S. Airways flight to Charlotte and an American Airlines flight to Dallas-Fort Worth.
