Snow disrupts Reno Tahoe flights and storm lashes Sierra
Hundreds of travelers waited for rescheduled departures at Reno Tahoe International after a snowstorm and a equipment failure led to many cancellations. About 2,000 passengers could not book flights today or tomorrow, as the airport’s busiest post Thanksgiving day saw near full flights. Snow fell up to 18 inches in the Sierra Nevada while Fort Benning Georgia prepares for a large influx of soldiers, with thousands more possibly moving as US bases shift during Iraq and Afghanistan operations. Separately, U.S. intelligence overhaul hangs on President Bush amid Senate talks and opposition from Reps Hunter and Sensenbrenner over realignment plans, raising questions about military command implications.
