[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe OPM shut down the government at 3pm for that. Well, no I can believe it. [/quote]

Again, you're a moron. [/quote]

Oh, did you have a crazy storm at 3pm? 4 pm? 5pm?  I think we all know who the morons are. Did you make this call for OPM or something?  I hope you get fired. [/quote]

NP. If they'd closed government offices at 3 p.m. because a crazy storm was expected at 3 p.m., THEN I'd be expecting to see someone fired for it. The whole point of closing before you think the storm is going to hit is so people have ample time to commute home.

As for everyone who's outraged that preparations were taken that, in retrospect, did not turn out to be needed for most of the area, that seems like a win? Definitely better than the reverse. Feel free to stay at your office until exactly when the weather it supposed to get bad the next time the National Weather Service says conditions are ripe for a tornado; was anyone actually FORCED to go home today instead of staying at the office working?[/quote]

Right. I was teleworking but frankly I was glad they got people off the road so DH wasnt sitting on the beltway when the storm came through.  And inevitably whenever OPM makes a call like this, it ends up being not as bad as predicted, so yay!  Our neighborhood was a mess two weeks ago and so glad we didn’t lose power this time.[/quote]
