Where are you headed.

And I would say we just had gusts of at least 40mph in Florence with some fairly heavy rain but it calmed down almost as quick as it cranked up.

Las Vegas, our plane had to divert to Huntington to refuel. First time we've flown Allegiant the gate attends are great!

Seems like an odd place to divert to and refuel.  What am I missing?

They were circling around around cynthia eky and the like trying to wait out the storm and started  running low on fuel.

One of my super technical, super smart friends posted this yesterday and I was thinking your plane may be on this map.

Mine circled in that area northeast of Lexington then it had to divert to Huntington for fuel.

I forgot to mention that it was coming in from Vegas that's why it ran short of fuel.
