Flew from RDU to Atlanta last night and after having the gate for the Pittsburgh flight changed 2 times made one more mad dash after it was changed a 3rd time and.... the flight was delayed. So after leaving 45 minutes late we are on approach in Pittsburgh. Right about the time I am thinking it is a really long approach, the plane starts going back up. 
I crack a joke about the pilot saying 'Hey this isn't Pittsburgh!' and the captian comes on and says due to 60 knot winds, no landing.
We will circle and wait for them to die down. After 25 minutes of turbulence we get diverted to Cleveland. We land in Cleveland, captain says weather is not supposed to clear until 6am so we will probably stay in Cleveland. 1 hr later we are still on the plane and captain says the weather has cleared and we can land in Pittsburgh after all. 1/2 hr after refueling, etc is done we take off - this is 2AM and the copilot announces that we are first in line. Like there are any other flights leaving at 2AM, in the rain?
Finally touched down in Pittsburgh at 2:30ish this morning.
