Major Storm Event Could Snarl Travel Ahead of Thanksgiving

Millions of Americans traveling away from home for Thanksgiving next week will be at the mercy of Mother Nature. A major storm system pushing up from the Desert Southwest is forecast to bring heavy rain and the threat of severe storms to the southern, central, and eastern U.S.

According to the American Automobile Association (AAA), a record-breaking 81.8 million people are expected to travel at least 50 miles from home during Thanksgiving week.
