Ask HuSi: Rock me like a hurricane

Let me tell you about a friend of mine, we'll call him The A to protect his privacy. No scratch that, let's call him T. Antix instead. For the sake of hypothetical thinking, let's assume that T. Antix and his wife P. Simmon have a honeymoon trip coming up in beautiful sunny Los Cabos, MX. Let's say that a hurricane was about to hit this town, approximately Friday night or early Saturday morning. Totally hypothetically, let's pretend that this anonymous person T. Antix has a flight scheduled into Los Cabos on Saturday afternoon.

Inside: more hypothetical posturing, then a question

So if you recall from the intro, this totally hypothetical person (who is by no means a reference to myself) is scheduled to fly into the town shortly after a hurricane is going to hit. The airline that my friend T. Antix is with, Alaska Airlines, has canceled flights for Friday but has not yet canceled his flight for Saturday. Though they have offered to refund flight costs for us if we choose to.

The main variables:

FLIGHT: cancelled/not cancelled
HOTEL: would refund/would not refund

According to some news reports the town is being evacuated. If the hotel is open and refuses to refund our paid funds, should we fly in? If Air Alaska will not fly, we could try reschedule us for a later flight say on Sunday or Monday? (We return on the following Saturday). I am not certain how stupid of an idea this is, or how plausible it would be that the town or hotel would be in any condition to receive tourists so shortly after the hurricane hits.

If the flight is cancelled:
If Alaska can reschedule for Sunday or monday:
    If the hotel will refund:
      (A) Should we still go?
    Else hotel will not refund:
      (B) Should we still go?
Else Alaska cannot reschedule:
    We cannot go.
Else flight is not cancelled:
If the hotel will refund:
    (C) Should we still go?
Else hotel will not refund:
    (D) Should we still go?
End if.

Your thoughts on these four scenarios would be greatly appreciated by my friend T. Antix who totally is not me. Say in a comment please or else vote
