Tropical Storm Day

[pinkwillow]

I grew up in Upstate New York so I'm no stranger to snow days but today I have a tropical storm day! The Sunshine Skyway (gigantic bridge that crosses Tampa Bay) is closed today so I can't get to work. Well, I could, but the detour is 75 miles. This isn't the first time work has been cancelled due to hurricane/tropical storm either!

Anybody else ever have a tropical storm/hurricane day?

Yes, being in Houston we have scares more often than we get hit with one, but Hurricane Days are not unfathomable for me.

We should have "drought days"
It's hot as balls and we have no water! No need to come in to work today!

Ugh, for real!

I haven't had one since Katrina. My dad was evacuated from his rig though.

whatever dude. sitting at home doing nothing doesn't sound fun, but since DH is also having a tropical storm day i think i'd rather be at home!

I wish we could have tropical storm days here, but my company vary rarely closes. We don't even close for hurricanes.

We don't feel the effects of too many hurricanes in PA, so no, we've never gotten one of those days.

I've worked at the same place for over 10 years and in that time we've only closed twice due to weather and that was for ice and snow. All of the bosses have 4WD vehicles, so if they can get here, then we're expected to as well.

LOL. DH is home too and he's putting me to work! We're working on clearing out the office so we can move the bikes in there.

Yikes! I bet being off work is nice but I don't know about the hassle of dealing with everything else.

I'm nowhere near an ocean so no hurricanes/tropical storms here, but we get tornado warnings like crazy during some seasons and sometimes people will get out of school and off work early. Crazy Mother Nature.
