Curious question from someone who lives far from a coast: Does your work shut down and give you the time off for hurricanes or do you have to take sick/vacation or just get unpaid? Are you expected to show up? I would think they would understand but my work expects me to show up in a blizzard and frowns if I take a sick day because I rather not join the people on the ice rink hwys.
all my shops yesterday from noon till 3pm "cleanup" and picking up all loose lumber and crap , securing equipment and tools ! offices .... all day yesterday unplugging all computers and servers and individually garbage bagging them . Sexretary ...her job is and was to have all business and insurance documents at all times in a metal briefcase by her site and keep them dry ! ( all documents are also scanned and saved to my usb drive ........
all paid , everyone is off since and until until Monday or further notice !
on a personal not .... at 185mph sustained and wind gusts of over 220mph all bets are off ! in that carp the best place to be is probably in your car inbtw the 2nd and 3rd floor of a all concrete, multi level airport parking garage .... I could be wrong !
God help everyone that's in the path of Irma's center/eye !
