Let's try the scenario your way.

They board the flight at MCO and you, your wife and your kids get on. The pilot flies to JFK then can't land because of the sotrm. The pilot circles the plane till it runs out of gas, then the plane crashes and you all die. Or ending # 2 the plane has to turn back and land somewhere else other then your destination. Ending # 3 by some fluke of a miracle the pilot can land the plane. You get your bags, and get into what ever mode of transport you are using. You get in an accident and get seriously injured or die. All this cause you are so impatient that you can't wait for a bit. Chill out dude.

I would rather be in an aiport for 18 hours (which is not a 1 1/2 days) and get home safely after the storm.
