Default Six Hours in SLC

Delta has managed to put me on about the last flight out
of Florida in the morning (8 airports are closing tomorrow).
The downside is a 6 hr. layover in Salt Lake City. Does
anyone have any thoughts on how to kill that time? [R]

Actually I thought that it had started to drop off. Albeit still 125 mph.

Those folks at the airport in Orlando are wimps to close at Noon.
The hurricane will still be about 200 miles away on Friday night. [R]

Looking at the 6pm news reports tonight (Friday), those winds seem to be
kicking up quite a bit already along the coast near Orlando.

It's not a macho contest. They are concerned about the safety of passengers
and their own workers. You don't get a prize for winning the last open
airport contest.
