I Live In Tampa And Im Upset At The Airlines For Price Gouging

Yes, you read the headline right. "I live in Tampa and im upset at the airlines for price gouging." I mean it's not much I can do now, seeing that the airport closes at 9am tomorrow morning. I did however try to get a flight for Monday, but it was out of my price range. The cheapest flight I saw was a $600 one way flight to Atlanta and that is insane! My Dad was going to help me pay for it, but by the time I clicked on it, it was already sold out. I then found a one way flight to Atlanta on Delta For $860. I know right, absolutely ridiculous. With A Hurricane coming, you would think they would be a little more considerate and make the tickets affordable.

It is currently midnight and Im on my computer looking up flights. The airport closes today at 9am, so Im checking to see how much some of those flights were. Im on the Delta site right now and a one way flight to Atlanta tomorrow would be $500! I also checked the Spirt Airlines website and they are not offering flights out today. A website that I tend to check is cheapflights.com, and they have a one way flight trough Frontier for $249! Sadly that flight will never happen. The airport closes in the morning and that flight was not until 6pm today. Did you see any prices that were horrific and are you going to report them?

If you are told to evacuate please do! There are free shelters and you can find the locations on our website Wild941.com. Please be safe and keep your family members safe. We are all in this together and it's important that we stick together in these times. My family is very worried but I have a hotel that is not in a flood zone. Be Safe!

If there's one thing people in Florida are used to, it's school canceling for hurricane days! If you live up north, your little ones might be doing the same thing but for snow days. Either way being locked in the house can take a toll on everyone and boredom might set in. A major hurricane could make you feel anxious or stressed. If you have little kids it's great time to have multiple options to distract everyone. Whether you have power or not these options will work for you!

When hunkering down parents should also focus on how to entertain their kids during the storm to pass the time. Having lots of different things to do can make them feel creative and less stressed about a hurricane that's coming. Arts and crafts are a great way to put them to work and use their minds while being creative at the same time. The last thing you want to hear during a hurricane is "I'm Bored" every two minutes. That's why we've put together a list of options so you can keep the kids having fun, being creative and out of your hair. Big storms are stressful enough on parents the last thing you need is the little ones driving you nuts.

Normally, going outside would be an option on this list during a hurricane you might not want to risk going on a walk. You never know when the weather can change quickly and it could become dangerous. Sometimes you don't know if you'll be trapped inside for two days or more and losing power could be happen as well. So, if you're looking for activities to hold over the kids until the storm passes? Here are some ideas! Scroll down for 7 activities the kids will love while stuck in the house during a hurricane.

Get all your blankets and pillows together! It's time to put together a fort with the help of the entire family. You can make them big or small but either way it's a lot of fun and don't forget the flash lights.

You could have a crafting contest to see who creates the best animal. Or set and timer and see who can color the fastest while staying in the lines. Either way creating artwork is always fun and passes by the time.

The perfect way to get out some of the extra energy with the kids. It can be tough sitting around the house with nothing to do. But if you still have power or a battery-operated radio a dance party is the best!

Who doesn't love story time? Pick out everyone favorite book and enjoy a good story out-loud. Or better yet, open a new book and take everyone through a new adventure.

You probably have a bunch of games sitting around the house you rarely use. Time to take them out and enjoy some fun playing a fun game!

Bring out a sleeping bag, bring it into the living room for a fun movie! If you don't have power, you can always teach the kiddos some yoga moves and see if they can copy you. Even slow stretching can be fun and a good healthy way to waste some time.

This is specifically for animal lovers. If you have a cat or dog they might be scared during the storm. Let the kids help create a safe nice cozy place for them to cuddle up. Maybe even a good brushing and petting could help calm their nerves.
