Just out of curiosity I checked Spirit and you can visit Detroit for only a little over $200. I was just looking to see if all airlines were raising their prices.
My thoughts exactly! We were in a double-wide when Hugo came over us. Luckily, my grandmother lived across the field from us in a brick home. I remember running across that field (with my stuffed animal kitty cat) as Hugo approached us...not a great memory.
My educated guess is that the flights with the insane prices are actually already overbooked. The revenue management algorithms kick in and every additional ticket that is sold must more than compensate for the cost and trouble of having to bump people.

Agreed but there are a lot of places that don't cost too much. Detroit is just the one closest to me which is why I checked that one.
I would rather stay in the hurricane than fly Spirit.
From experience working with someone to get a flight last night - the google results are mostly misleading. When you click on most - either the airline sites have too much traffic and cannot book it, the flight is sold out, or the only seats left are upwards of $700 or more one way. Thankfully we were able to luck out with something, but after hours of searching.
Flying out on the 7th
The rule of thumb I've heard is that you're supposed to have a gallon of water per person per day.
Don't worry - we were in the exact same boat last night
I've been reading the posts.. thank you to everyone who is offering sound advice and support. I've been busy packing while hubby is out trying to get some last minute supplies.
