I know its only a tropical storm, but anyone made the decision to close shop for this afternoon/tomorrow?

I'm on the fence since I have employees who drive in from the river parish areas and Houma.

If you do, you might as well close for the rest of the week.

My dad said he's only closing if the parish government is closing and as far as I know they aren't. His employees aren't happy

I would be annoyed if we closed for this little storm.

My company's safety guy is making preparations but I highly doubt anything comes from this.

If I get told to go home, I will be expected to work from there if I have power / internet.

This won't be last year's flood. Not even close. I do understand if people are concerned however.

Just had a guy walk into a meeting at our office in The Woodlands, TX and say he had to leave early so he could prepare for the "storm in the gulf"

I was this close to calling him out, but I tempered my jab at him back to, "you mean the rain storm in the Gulf?" He gave me a death glare, but he knows he's full of shite and using it as an excuse to skip out on work for the next 2 days

Not planning to close just because of rain. If streets start getting pretty flooded and it looks like employees might not be able to get home, then I'll reconsider
