Frankfurt airport. Officials at Frankfurt airport on Thursday were forced to cancel 133 flights due to strong rain and concerns about lightning strikes. Flights were grounded for about two hours on Thursday as airport officials said they feared ground crew could be at risk of lightning strikes at Germany’s busiest airport. Upon arriving in Frankfurt, the team had to remain onboard their airplane for 90 minutes due to the lightning warning. The storm also affected road traffic in areas around Frankfurt, with one junction in Offenbach flooded and thus blocked off.
