WTF?

I work on an island.
The entire office is covered in windows, which face the beach, which lies something like 40 feet away from the windows.
Barrelling toward my office is a tropical storm, which is expected to be a hurricane by morning. Along with hurricanes come minimum winds of 75 mph, and something like 6-8 (or more) inches of rain.
This poses a problem for most people, sure. But for those of us who have to cross a 3-lane bridge which stands hundreds of feet in the air to get to work, it's a big problem.
I'm not driving my happy self across a scary-ass bridge in 75 mph winds. Not happening.
And with less than 24 hours until expected landfall of Tropical Storm/Hurricane Edouard, the best we can get out of our managers is, "In the event of a DELAYED opening tomorrow..."
You bitches. Delayed BETTER mean "delayed until Wednesday."
That's all I'm saying...

Hey, when we had Charley and company come through here in '04, the day of (until noon) and the day after each one. Not really where you want to be when a hurricane is on its way.

Hopefully you didn't have to drive down there, eventhough it was a dissapointment of a storm.
