It really helps when it’s said “ground stop FOR xyz”. Every time I hear “ground stop AT xyz”, a little part of me dies inside.
If they stop movement at an airport, that’s not a ground stop. In that case, the airport is closed.

Correction - I see the ground stop in the full ACT plan.

That said, it doesn't necessarily prevent things from happening at AUS - just means they would be holding inbound flights at origins (likely so they wouldn't arrive until additional staffing is available.)

The current FAA status page doesn't show anything active for AUS right now. nasstatus.faa.gov
In any event, a "ground stop for XYZ" means that planes destined for XYZ are held on the ground at their airports of origin, not that activity at XYZ airport necessarily stops.

By Texas standards, sure. Unless you're going E/W here in NC, that's two states' worth. ;)
