Flights Grounded as Winter Storm Hits North Texas

A massive winter storm is causing chaos at Dallas airports. Over 1,000 flights have been canceled at DFW International Airport and Dallas Love Field. This is a big deal because DFW is a major hub for American Airlines. By 8:21 a.m., 1,036 flights were already scrapped.
