A KPRC 2 employee trying to get home to Florida is among the travelers facing an uncertain wait at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport after a nationwide FAA ground stop disrupted flights across the country.

Erik Sandoval, Director of Storytelling, said passengers had already begun boarding his flight to Daytona Beach when the captain made an announcement about the nationwide stoppage.

About one-third of the passengers had boarded before the announcement brought their plans to a halt.
