TROPICAL STORM ISAAC Discussion Thread #12

I work for Whitney and this is a little misleading. Yes, we're at work today and suspect we'll be in in the morning. However, I'd be surprised if we work passed early afternoon. I can also promise you that unless things drastically change your daughter will not have to report on Wednesday.

As of right now, my DH has to go from the River Parishes to downtown New Orleans for work tomorrow. He then has to drive his truck back to the River Parishes, run his route, get back downtown, and then drive back home. I am strongly hoping they will change their mind. Especially since that big delivery truck is tall and the wind will push it around.

Probably because they see that it has not been upgraded to a hurricane yet, they might change their mind come tomorrow morning.

I hope your right! Nobody should be out in this.

I bet the mall in Houma won't close. When I worked at sears, I had to drive home in hurricane Cindy.

I Live in Eden Isles in Slidell and still trying to decide what to do. I work at the airport in Kenner for TSA and as of yet we have not been released, so until we are released I can't go anywhere.
