Handled quite a few people from cancelled Miami flights for those reasons, rerouted into various other Florida cities. Gotta say that people in Florida are incredibly resilient, all handle things very matter of factly and calmly. All the best!

Hi Jim. Those of us in "hurricane alley" have definitely developed a certain relilience (some might call it "numbness"

). However, I'm worried sick about this one. Literally: I'm a bit nauseated.

I don't think NO will ever be the same after tomorrow.

Go out to the people stranded In New Orleans tonight .
Whatever you believe in please send positive energy to these unfortunates .
I am very concerned that we may be looking at a 21st century Galveston in the making .
