We recently moved to the US Virgin Islands for a year (!) and my husband is escorting my parents back here Saturday night. Get this: their plane is scheduled to take off from SeaTac at 11pm. I can't seem to find airport closure info anywhere. <br /><br />On a separate note, as a huge weather nerd, I am beyond bummed to be missing this event!
