I've actually been very impressed with my company (The Nature Conservancy). We were told on Monday that we had an admin day off on Friday. Yesterday they added Thursday and this morning they said if necessary for prep we were on admin leave immediately and through the end of the day on Monday. Of course it's on the honor system whether you really need it and we are expected to have our shops/equipment, etc. all ready also. Spent today ferrying fire trucks 3 hours up to Austin and now it probably won't be necessary!Killing threads since 2004. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlyingJ 0 #64 September 11, 2008 I just received 1/2 a dozen phone calls from people in Georgia, Florida and New York about the weather channel reporting that my county is under a mandatory evacuation. Hmmmmpfff...only it's not. There has been a voluntary evac for the last two days and they are repeatedly confirming the voluntary status via the press. Wonder how many folks around here only watching the weather channel and not local news is freaking out a little more now. Killing threads since 2004.

AggieDave 6 #65 September 11, 2008 I just have memories of Lake Wales and what happened to them. I just don't want to see that happen to such a cool DZ like Spaceland. Especially since Collegiates are to be hosted in a few months. I went to Collegiates at Lake Wales a bit after their structure was destroyed by a hurricane (and their Otter was heavily damaged). It was all in portable buildings and pretty much sucked in terms of what the DZ had. Although they did try with everything they had and did a good job with what they had.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

FlyingJ 0 #66 September 11, 2008 I hear ya. My post wasn't really a response to you, just replied to the last one. I know a bunch of people that have evac plans if they make it manadatory, but otherwise were going to shelter in place. Just wondering how many of them only watching the weather channel are getting bad info. It's good to see the equipment get out of there. If the storm keeps moving it will probably make having moved our trucks up to Austin unnecessary, but I'd rather be safe than sorry w/ $100k vehicles. I can't imagine being responsible for aircraft!Killing threads since 2004. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
