I was looking at flight numbers over on Indianapolisairport.com and noticed the large number of delays this morning. Was that because of the storms we had last night?

There is still a line of storms south of the metro area. I am sure they are causing problems.

Planes were very delayed getting in the night before due to weather. Since most airlines consider IND a remote station, they fly the crew in on the last flight to IND, rest them here (often at the Adams Mark) and fly them back out on the first morning flight. When they get in late the night before, they often don't have their required hours of rest by flight time in the morning, which means the flight has to be delayed. I'm pretty sure that describes most of the delays yesterday, along with inbound delays from storms elsewhere.
