Flight cancellations at Southwest Florida International Airport jumped from 27 Saturday to more than 125 by 8 p.m. Sunday. The cancellations are mostly due to the massive snow and ice-filled winter storm hitting the country from Texas to Maine. Airlines warned the storm could cause widespread cancellations and delays at some of the nation’s busiest airports. More than 10,800 flights were canceled on Sunday, according to flight-tracking site FlightAware. Aviation analytics firm Cirium said that as of Sunday morning, the storm is the highest experienced cancellation event since the pandemic.

A new study verified something most people who live in Florida already know: mold is a problem here. Mold is a persistent problem across Florida, driven by the state's humid subtropical climate and frequent rainfall. Indoor mold can damage walls and ceilings, reduce property values, and create health problems in people, particularly those with respiratory conditions or weakened immune systems. The problem is worse during Florida's summer rainy season when heavy showers and localized flooding can saturate structures.
