A tweet from the airport said all entrance roadways closed down because of an investigation at terminals 2 and 3.

FLL released little information as to what was going on and directed travelers to contact their airlines for flight statuses.

Several commenters on social media said they were stuck on planes that had been on the tarmac or at the gate for hours.
