The general message from my parents is that everyone started freaking out this morning after the Cat 5 upgrade. I think it's people getting out of dodge. 'Rumors' of hotel shortages in Georgia (that may just be southern Georgia, and no idea what the source of that rumor my mom heard is)

Out of RSW, at least to where my parents want to fly (my brother's), there's nothing on WN until Saturday. Completely sold out until then.
