I don't consider it price gouging. If they don't raise the price during this time, they will lose money because of the situation (lots of traffic and roads blocked off, lack of clients/ability to get clients during this time). Uber customers also didn't need to use the service at all. There are plenty of other alternatives (as mentioned in the article).
