True. But when there's a State of Emergency all companies should pay "admin time" like when I worked for one company that did pay us for any time they sent us home or closed.

My supervisor texted me and told me not to come to work today. Another text later said wait until noon tomorrow to come back to work. It will be written off to administrative leave.
We had over three inches of snow last night, it never went above the 20s today so the roads are still icy. It is sad when employers do not care about the people who work for them. I have friends in Florida who were made to ride out Hurricane Irma because they had to stay and box up the important employees' paperwork and other stuff. It was too late after that for them to get out. Hearing about this made me so angry. Needs to be a Federal law that covers and protects EVERYONE in regards to life-threatening situations. |

I think we are at 10 to 11 inches of snow!
Speaking of work...... For us they tell us not to come in if we don’t feel safe. The company doesn’t close and we have to use from our pto if we want to get paid. I’m staying home... today and tomorrow. Reason? Other drivers! I had no problems driving up north in the snow but here it gets insane. People sliding and hitting the breaks I just don’t get why they can not GET it. It’s all good I don’t mind the couple days off. ![]()

Good evening! I hope you all are staying safe...It has been a mild winter down here and my oldest nephew is in Chicago for Navy boot camp.
Please be safe and I hope this weather ends soon for you all.. Zimmeh

I'm checking in, to say I'm high and dry, being on the 3rd floor.
When you see/hear about the flooding in Texas, probably the pictures will come from my town. It's been non stop hard rain, thunder and lightning, most of the day. The street out front is flooded. I have an employee stuck in her car, probably over night. There are a few of us that are close by, and I hope they check in as well.

Well, I've gotten lucky with this one. Henri was just shy of hurricane status when he hit land at 70 mph winds. It went nearly right over me so the winds weren't as bas as predicted for my area but there are still over 80,000 homes and businesses without power right now in Rhode Island. We've gotten a couple of inches of rain so far and will have more later. The wind is still gusting quite a bit now but should simmer down as it moves West of us.

We just have heavy rain and some wind. Where my office is in Connecticut could have more rain and flooding.

Henri is starting to show his presence now. The winds have picked up some and there are periodic bands of rain. The ground is so soaked that more rain and a little wind could be a disastrous combination. The river that runs on the south side of the road where the store sits, is at about midlevel right now. A month or so ago it was overflowing it's retaining wall because of all the rain we've had. Hopefully we don't get the 4 to 6 inches of rain Henri has been handing out to many.

Henri blew by us safely. The storm brought the river up to almost overflowing again and there were some flickering lights but that was about it. Prayers for the people of Louisiana as Ida looks to be a bad one.

We didn't get a lot of snow yesterday but then the misty rain made it all slushy and what didn't melt, froze, so there's a ton of ice out there. |

![]() The rain finally turned to drizzle. The sun is peeking out a bit. The winds are back to a steady 20 mph with higher level gusts. Compared to yesterday, it is eerily quiet. On a cursory look out the windows - the windows and skylights are intact, the property dividing fence is toast, there are tree parts all over but the trees are still in the ground. 80% of the town has no electricity. Not a surprise. Could hear the transformers popping last night. Additional crews are being brought in from other states to help restore power. Power flickers here but never went out. The emergency center call came in about 8am warning people to stay off the roads because of all the downed trees and wires, and street flooding. With all the sirens out there, I'm gathering people didnt heed the warning. High tide is in 2 hours. After that, the storm should be far enough out for the waters to finally recede before tonights high tide. Really itching to see the bay side harbor. Millions were spent 2 years ago to dredge, rebuild, and fortify the area. Yesterday at high tide, the sea water was pouring into the surrounding parking areas and buildings. Word to the wise....never buy property between the harbor and the marsh as they strive to become one during these kinds of storms. Time to find the bike helmet and go shovel the debris in the driveway. Has anyone heard from Gemme?

Thanks for the update. The power company just called with their update....expect outages to last for a couple of days as they work around the clock to restore power. Unfortunately, the winds are gusting in the 40-50 mph range again. More trees and power lines are coming down. The police have started posting pics of cars smushed by trees but it isnt stopping the traffic out there. Neither are the ones showing live wires catching fire. Oh well, it could be worse.

![]() This is sad. The police just posted a pic from my favorite town beach on the ocean side. There is a snack bar off the parking lot facing the beach. There used to be a 40 foot walkway from the snack bar to the stairway that led down to the beach off a 20 foot cliff. The storm in January took out the stairway and eroded about 10 feet of cliff. Now the walkway is gone and the "cliff" is at street level with the Atlantic trickling into the parking lot. This is what it used to look like: ![]() This is the link to the video of what it looks like now: Nauset reconfiguration Good thing the town bought the property on the cliffs above the parking lot. One of the perks of living in a small town is that when weather causes trees to fall across roadways, the town cuts enough of the tree to open the road. The rest is left for folks with fireplaces and wood stoves to come cut up for their own use. The town will clean up what is leftover in a few days. Here, I am waiting on the landscapers to deal with the 2 40+ feet pine trees off my deck. One is leaning on the other which is also starting to lean. Hoping the wind stay from the north so when they fall, it will be away from the building. Seriously, too too fucking old for this shit.
