    Legit, when I used to deliver pizza in Florida, the rule was: “If it’s category 3 or lower, you still come in to work. If it’s 4 or 5, you have the day off.”

    Wasn’t too mad about it, though. We got great tips on hurricane days. People would be very grateful that their pizza delivery still came through even though there’s a hurricane going on outside.

      Still down here? Out town got sniped by a Cat 3 and it was fucking bad. Power guys said we had it worse than anywhere else they’d seen on the coast. Just Milton! Pensacola and Crestview, unscathed.

        Yeah, cat 1 and 2 aren’t usually a big deal, cat 3 is when you actually need to prepare. I lived in Central Florida for Charlie Francis and Jeanne and those three were nasty.

        (Not that pizza delivery should be going on during a cat 1 or 2, something will inevitably flood and it’s better to just not be out.)
