I am scheduled to fly back to the West coast on Delta today (Monday pm) but that is not going to happen. However Delta was very accommodating thanks to my diamond status (that is why status matters) and I got a flight via Seattle tomorrow at 4pm. (Knock on wood)... Hotel is a bit tricky but Hampton inn at JFK is able to extend my stay for one more evening.

Looking out the window now at 12:25pm! Wind has gotten stronger... and I could hear the wind blowing. JFK is eerily quiet with no traffic. The Van Wyck has a few cars running around and all the nearby hotels are having delivery. The Chinese takeout place that I ordered last night told me that they will be opened today. I planned to order more food during lunch time and hopefully that will last me through the day. The lobby here was busy this morning with lots of people trying to check in and to extend their stays. The hotel is very accommodating and helping folks to find the few remaining rooms in the JFK area.

It is definitely rough out. So don't expect flights at all today and hopefully tomorrow things can resume in the early afternoon.
