It was a long, damp evening for Harrison Ford.

The star of "Six Days, Seven Nights" was stranded Tuesday in Morgantown, W.Va., when thunderstorms forced his pilot to land their helicopter at Hart Field.Ford was on his way home to Jackson Hole, Wyo. His family was flying separately in a private jet and continued through the storm.

"It's a real pretty part of the country," Ford said. "Everybody's been pretty nice to us." Ford and his pilot left Wednesday.
