I am watching the news on it right now, they’ve just said it is set to get worse. It has forced down half of Europe’s flights, tens of thousands of people are stranded. It is drifting east, and more countries are likely to be affected in the coming days. It has stretched from France, to Scandinavia to the edge of Russia.
My friends are trapped in Prague :(
But I doubt it will affect America. The map they are showing shows it moving progressively away from your direction, more in the direction of Asia.
