Anybody watching the weather channel.

The reporter at the airport said the air port will not be a shelter.

All those people standing in line trying to leave Florida need a shelter of some kind if they cannot leave.

The airport will close at 4.
.

Ok.

I guess they go back to their homes or a shelter.

Hope they all get a plane ticket.

and their families and going away from the hurricane. Which I guess is nice of them, but if I was one of those passengers I would be infuriated. Also the whole thing seems kind of crazy.

13. Airlines added a bunch of last minute flights today

Airlines added a bunch of extra flights today out of Miami to help with the problems. Mostly with $99 fares. American, for example added 3 flights to NYC and 16 to DFW. They are using wide body planes to ferry out the most people to other hubs. The goal is to get as many people and planes out of south Florida as possible before the airports close.

With all these extra big planes are adding to the usual chaos that is normal at MIA, I am sure it is a zoo.
