Update from Universal:
Talking about the public, not employees. Read before you respond please.Now be an employee and try to have time to prep without calling out.
At UOR some back of house departments are work at home starting tomorrow due to them finding it unsafe for staff to come in… but front of house, y’all have to come in.
And I was talking about how employee's are not told of plans before the public in this matter...Talking about the public, not employees. Read before you respond please.
That's what I mean. I feel like theres always an expectation that the storms will turn and not go into the bay directly. And for 100 years they have. So to see the NHC doubling down on a near-direct hit is concerning.I don't find this to be true. Tampa and the Bay gets plenty of damage, even from storms as recently as well, two weeks ago. However, what is true is that there has not been a direct major storm make landfall in Tampa in 103 years.

They likely will. I’d expect an announcement at any time in the next few minutes.Most likely, Then again, let's see if Disney closes the parks and Disney Springs as early as Uni does their property tomorrow.
Wasn't discussing employeesBecause you can't "do something" to protect your home if your employer is still telling you to report to work.
“Disney does a great job taking care of you during a hurricane”. Just as soon as they make sure they’re the last to blinkI expect a Disney announcement within the next couple hours. No doubt they and Universal (and probably SeaWorld) made this decision collaboratively.
The Northeast is very green and doesn't have many natural disasters.We’re now leaning more towards the NC, TN, KY area but after last week even those inland areas aren’t looking all that safe from natural disasters.
I desperately want to live in a less congested, and green, area but with a paid off house in (mostly safe) Vegas sometimes it feels like it makes more sense to just stay put and travel more.
IThe last couple years have really made me reevaluate my “retire to Florida” plan, 50% as a result of storms, 50% a result from how negatively Disney has changed.

Your forum name makes me stay far awayThe Northeast is very green and doesn't have many natural disasters.
It is now almost 3pm eastern and zero updates on their webpage.What would you like them to say? If they've not actually figured out when they will close (which isnt unreasonable nor unexpected, you dont make calls like this early and end up with parks sitting empty when they didnt need to be) then all they can say is what every single person knows - they MAY close at some point.
This is no different from any other closure operationally speaking, you make the call as late as possible, and only once you've got all the details. They're following the same practices as every other park in the area has followed for decades.
We'll no doubt be getting that announcement very, very soon so its a bit of a non issue.
And I was not talking about employees being notified. Thanks for missing my point tooAnd I was talking about how employee's are not told of plans before the public in this matter...

TMs I know who are working by the way didn't hear of the operational update UNTIL I sent them a text.
Eyes wobble and may jog 30 - 50 miles each way, have to watch the longer loops to see the pathIs it just me or does it seem to be on the eastern portion of the track? Does this mean anything?View attachment 819750
