Hurricane florence - will planes reroute?

[sam_rogers]

We're flying out next Saturday (15th) which will be right around the time that hurricane florence could make landfall on the east coast.... Which is of course right in our flight path! Do commercial airlines tend to reroute the flights or would our flight potentially get cancelled? I know the exact path of the hurricane isn't definite for the end of next week and it could still curve out to the Atlantic but she does look like she's headed straight for the coast...

I seem to remember last year flights were cancelled if they hadn't departed, and diverted if they were already in the air.
