Plane slides off the runway in Omaha (Marta is safe, not her plane)

A Southwestern plane slid off the runaway. Omaha is closed. Marta's flight was a couple hours earlier from Chicago. ALL is well here.

Got off work early and the sidewalks are total ice. Be careful out there if you are in range of this storm!
