Hurricane Irma

[scratch]

We got pulled off the road at 4 PM in the Atlanta area. Trees and power lines were starting to come down. I had 102 stops off by then. I brought back 34 that were mostly an add/cutt.

Why in hell would anyone wait until trees and power lines were coming down?

Just like pre-DIAD during blizzards they would call your pickups to call you in.

Kinda sucked out in the sticks on a route with no pickups.

Somebody in Texas posted on a Teamsters Facebook page that the company gave them $500 because of Harvey. When New Orleans got flooded after Katrina, employees were given two weeks pay. These two storms will affect so many employees I don't what UPS will do.

That is soooo funny. Have been affected by flooding by 5 weather events ( Tropical Stroms/Hurricanes) an could not get off early, let alone pay or receive monetary assistance.

Monday morning was nice with light rain, what is left of Irma wasn't due to hit until the afternoon. I work a little south of the Atlanta Airport, it got hit with 65mph winds and was shut down. It turns out the Governor ordered everybody except emergency vehicles off the roads by 2PM before the storm hit. My supervisor had to run a route due to call-ins, a cop pulled her over and asked why UPS was on the road. He wanted to call somebody so she gave him the Corporate number. We got called in shortly after that. Today was easy due to pickups being missed yesterday. I had two streets blocked by trees and power lines down. About 2/3s of my customers are out of power still. Sunny and 77 tomorrow.

I find it hard to believe UPS would be that generous---its not their motus operandi.

Half the people I saw being interviewed this morning looked like they were probably so high they never realized there was a hurricane.
