We usually fly over on the Thursday. Usually fly around 5pm-6pm. With the 8 hour flight and 5 hours time difference they usually land around 6am-7am. Its meant to feel a more natural change for the players and they feel they get better work done at the facility in the week.

Understandable. But with a potential natural catastrophe looming, it makes more sense to travel when the travelling is guaranteed to be good. Had the hurricane wobbled north, or increased to category 5 strength, it could have been a whole different picture in Jacksonville. 

I'm sure the team had good meteorological reports upon which to base their decision, but it just seems like an unnecessary gamble.
