A6 #PTTravel Quite often, airlines take this kind of stuff in their stride ... e.g. Cathay Pacific landing us at Hong Kong after a typhoon had just passed through. We did have to hold off for half an hour, till the worst had passed, though.
A6- You might want to avoid places that are prone to flooding during their rainy season

@kate_frankie #pttravel A6: again on The Hike, we were climbing the mountain Pen-Y-Ghent in Yorkshire, and the wind/rain were horrendous & constant.
Anyway, one the chaps we hiked with was taking all manner of pics with his relatively new iPhone.
It didn't survive the evening.
A6 #pttravel In winter, watch what the airlines are doing. If you are changing flights in a blizzard, they may change your flight for free. Here in the NW, @amtrak can have slides come down on their tracks. If you’re getting wild weather, watch websites & sign up for texts.
replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A6 I travel with a lot of camera gear, and electronics and water don't mix! When backpacking I always reserve the driest place in the tent for my camera bag! #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A6. I’ve learned not to trust British outdoor gear. As fine as it is for a British winter it rarely holds up to extreme conditions. My first week in Russia I was taken out to buy new kit. #PTTravel

Power cuts and general transport disruptions happen in many places around the world.
Try to take it in your stride as much as possible. Flights may get cancelled, trains come to a halt but they get going again quickly.
Help people out if you can and be patient
