Love, you must be US based and not travelling today and have little sense of the scale of this thing if you are making a US hurricane analogy.

1. There are estimated to be in excess of 700,000 people stranded across Europe alone right now as I write with no clue about what is going on. (this does not include the hundreds of thousands which are stranded outside of Europe, the number will at least double tomorrow if this doesn't clear)

2. Oh, I know what airline I am supposed to fly tomorrow, and have a backup to that if it fails, and a second backup to that if it fails and even a third. In addition to the plain fact that it is inconvenient to hit 3-6 forums for the information needed, My first airline which I am ticket on does NOT have a main fora on FT, the main fora to date has no word on that airlines flights. The airport in questions website says that half the flights are cancelled, but not which flights exactly and recommends going to the airlies site, the airline site says to check the schedule function which obviously has not been updated, and the "news" area says that if you contact the airline you will probably not get a response as they are slammed. So no, just having it piecemeal around the various fora is NOT a good idea.

3. If Ft could serve as communications hub between certain Israelis and Lebanese during the last big skirmish than it certainly can kick into high gear for this disaster and consolidate this information in a much more concise and useful manner.
