Many Flights To Florida Cancelled Due To Hurricane Matthew

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- While Hurricane Matthew may spare our area, people trying to fly to Florida out of Philadelphia Thursday were out of luck.

All flights from Philadelphia International headed to Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and Miami were cancelled for the day, as Florida braced for the arrival of Hurricane Matthew.
