Travel during Thanksgiving holiday
As reported by The Associated Press, Thanksgiving travel is expected to be harsh and heavy.
Americans took to the roads, air, and rail lines on Wednesday for what is expected to be the busiest Thanksgiving travel period in nearly a decade. About 49 million people are expected to travel at least 50 miles Wednesday and Sunday—the most since 2007—due to lower gas prices and an improving economy, according to AAA.
