    My wife has a coworker who works remotely from the Tampa suburb he lives in, who was supposed to be in office for two weeks in New York. He left this weekend, cutting the trip in half, to take his pregnant wife and toddler back home so he can ‘protect the house’.

    ‘We’ve been through hurricanes before.’

    Fucking idiot.

        To be fair he probably needed to go back and board up all the windows. He should have left after that though and there is no way I would take my pregnant wife and kids back to stay.

          So that is what I figured too, but apparently they have an HOA crew that does it for the neighborhood, including people who are unable to assist for whatever reason. They definitely could have just not gone back.
