    Anyone else getting their schedule changed due to the impending hurricane? We are running out bottled water like CRAZY. Working Friday and Saturday planning on possibly not being able to get in on Sunday night like normal.

    Just tornadoes and snow drifts that make even the hardiest of New Englanders cringe.

    Hell anymore its just ice and sleet, some snow. We definitely don't get the snow where im at like we did back when i was a kid. Remember snowmobiling as a kid with plenty of drifts to ride.

    Ask @Bear135 about twisters once. He had a big one tear through his town in OK a few years ago.

    Whelp bottled water, bottled water, bottled water. We had a whole crew of fork lifts just unloading water on its way in right to outbound trucks. It looked like a ltl cross dock on steroids lol. Stores are already out of it so they have us working Friday/Saturday planning on not being able to run on Monday/Tuesday.

    My dad lives in Cape Coral. Works for a local milk company. They can’t keep the places he delivers to stocked with milk. It’s insane.

    I did think it was weird that milk would sell so quickly in a storm like this with power most likely being knocked out but I’m sure many have generators.
     
    FlaSwampRat Thanks this.

    No lol. People always buy the wrong stuff. Nobody ever thinks of toilet paper lol. I haven't been to the store because I'm stocked up well but the guys that deliver the grocery stores said they are already running out of stuff so I can believe that he is running like crazy.
