"Hurricane Day" tomorrow!!!

Just in time for Fay!!!  We have a hurricane day tomorrow!  Just when we start school...hope it isn't too bad as it is my first hurricane in Florida!!

Re: "Hurricane Day" tomorrow!!!

  • I have to work till 12 tomorrow.  DH is a teacher so he will be off.  Hopefully it will stay a TS.

  • Oh I hope it stays a TS!  No need for a Hurricane!
  • If this is your first Tropical Storm, don't be worried. Most likely it will stay a Tropical Storm. If it turns into a hurricane, it won't be for long. Our schools are closed Tuesday and Wednesday. The grunt of the storm won't hit until late Tuesday evening and by the time it reaches us, there will be some wind and rain. My first hurricanes were 2004, when Frances, Jeanne and the other one hit, talk about freaking out!
  • Aww lucky you! We were GOING to get off, and then at 4:30, we got the "business as usual tomorrow" e-mail. BOOO. Would have been nice!

    Enjoy your hurricane day!

  • Well, it isn't really a hurricane . . . yet!

    Any of us who were here through Charlie, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne KNOWS what a hurricane is. I am hoping I NEVER have to live through that again. (I am a Florida native and never ever thought a hurricane would make it's way to Orlando and do any damage . . . Charlie proved me wrong -- and then the others followed.

    This won't be anything like those, but all the wind and rain isn't good . . . it is seriously is going to crawl across the state and stay way past its welcome.

  • DH got the "business as usual" email tomorrow too:(

  • This will be easy.  We've had thunderstorms this summer worse than this storm is going to be.  It's not even a hurricane, it made landfall as a tropical storm.  No worries.  Our last tropical storm, everything was closed but other than it being a bit windy and rainy, it was nothing.  DH and I were off work so we went out to lunch (restaurants were still open) and than walked around the mall (also open).

    This year our companies wisened up and decided not to close.  They will probably close early this afternoon (2pm or so).  You will see that for the most part, the hurricanes and tropical storms are nothing scary, it's just the tornados that accompany them that can get scary.  And if you really get scared, you can always evacuate.

  • Lucky You! I was hoping for that for me, but I got the Business as usual email at 3:30 yesterday... there is a slight hope of getting to go home early, but after hearing this company stayed open for Charlie, that is doubtful for a TS. Enjoy your day off!
  • Yeah, DS and I may go out to lunch...we shall see though...being out in Poinciana, there is nothing really too close and I don't want to venture TOO far away!
