I find it hard to believe also. You don't say your final, but did you check routing through ORD or DEN? SFO could have been an option too depending on where in FL you are going.
Also, there was a way to travel today, it included a 38 minute connection at IAH. The weather is fine here today you probably would have made it. You chose not to, so now you pay that cost. You would have been provided a hotel in IAH and been able to make it to your final much earlier in the day tomorrow (and avoided a cross-country trip w/ connection Day 2 where this could happen again).
