More than 10,000 U.S. flights delayed or cancelled due to major storms

More than 10,000 U.S. flights were delayed or canceled Monday amid a series of storms affecting several major airports along the East Coast and some

other locales.



Because of the risk of high winds and severe thunderstorms, the Federal Aviation Administration ordered delays at the New York City area's three airports - New York's LaGuardia and JFK and Newark airport in New Jersey - as well as at Reagan Washington National Airport, airports at Charlotte and Atlanta,

and Houston's Bush airport.



Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the weather was impacting flights across the country. A major winter storm was also snarling flights across the Midwest and Great Lakes states.
