Hurricane Patricia Weather Story
It also almost cancelled Marshall's homecoming game. The football players and cheerleaders from UNT were suppose to leave Friday afternoon on a chartered flight from Dallas. The runway was shut down due to the weather. Finally they left about 10:30 that night. Maybe that was why UNT played so bad!
