Hunker down folks and stay safe - glad TV is located where we are, rather than south or east coastal FL...
Have heard on News reports that most airlines have been accommodating.

Another data point; Phyllis was originally scheduled to fly back from Seattle ETA Sunday @ 5am. Of course OIA would have long been shut down - she would have have to stay in WA even longer. Who knows when she could have resched a return...
I suggested she call Alaska Air Wednesday to see what options she had - and they were able to rebook her. Not as her orginal Seatt<>Orl non-stop, but Seatt<>LAX>>Orl, thru their partner Amer Airlines. No extra$$ or change fee. ETA 5AM tomorrow - BEFORE MCO will shut down.

Considering the early arrival originally I was going to drive and pick her up at MCO. But now - considering the traffic on the Turnpike, she arranged the TV Shuttle and I will get her from Brownwood.

Now hopefully she/we will ride it thru with Irma - if she turns out to be like Dorothy in Wizard of Oz I will never hear the end of it.
