Capt comes on and informs bad weather on ground, so you guessed it we're gonna circle for little while. Ok, but guess what my first connection is in 40 minutes, well we landed roughly 15 minutes after my flight left!!! So to the ticket agent I go to get my new schedule. New flight 2:45 direct, ok I can deal with that no connection!! Guess what happens at 2:15, flight cancelled!! Bumper to next direct flight at 6:45. Well here it is 7:20 and I'm still chillin in the Delta crown room, flight is getting bumped 30 minutes every time I turn around. Last time I looked not leaving till 9:55~~

No flights back to my home airport. If I don't get out of here soon, I'm grabbing a car and driving the 3.5 hours back home
Sounds like there has been some bad WX throwing some kinks in system. Sorry to hear you have been bumped so many times and are stuck in ATL. But hey...at least your in the Crown room and not sitting at the gate. Good luck.
