FlightView shows a DL9937 MD88 flight that was supposed to leave at 11:45 PM DTW/MSP, but I can't find any other info about it.
Hopefully the OP will come back and fill us in as to the details of what ever happened to him or her!
OP here....reporting in. 2 AM local - still in DTW but at least found a hotel room FIRST before thousands more tried getting them. Rebooked to tomorrow via MEM at 3:xx PM....first available allegedly. DTW was a complete disaster tonight, nobody giving good information. Between ATL and DTW IROPS, things are bad in Deltaland tonight. I guess the word is HubStruck! Looking to try to get on an earlier flight I found with space via DFW. Good times!
