Local woman witnesses deadly storms in Texas
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A Jacksonville woman is shaken, but not hurt after deadly storms in Texas overnight Thursday.
Aliera Peterson is the Director of Social Media for Jacksonville's Dalton Agency.
She was flying to Texas as the storms were slamming into the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.
In fact, Peterson's flight was diverted and grounded in San Antonio for a few hours.
Eventually, she told First Coast News over the phone, she was able to take off for Dallas.
The issue, she said, was another wave of storms with lightning and thunder that made landing difficult.
Peterson said the captain was communicating the entire time and made a successful landing.
But she said the entire experience was "bone chilling."
Once at the airport, Peterson said she ran into another problem.
