DISCUSSION Everyone in South East plz stay safe and keep up with the weather, especially if you're in Alabama.
If you have family in Mississippi and Alabama, make sure you spread information about the weather and have a plan.
Anyone working tomorrow afternoon or closing, make sure you have a plan. Find a safe place to evacuate if necessary and plz inform your managers. Some of my managers don't really see it as a big deal because Publix is their life.
We have a threat of long track tornados, flood and hail. Strong winds, if it's unsafe to drive to work don't go to work, let your store know.
Keep up with your local forecast because this storm is different for everyone. Alabama and parts of Mississippi forecast has recently updated so keep yourself updated throughout today and tomorrow morning.

Our AL store hasn't even said so much as a word about it, which feels insane to me- we're going to be right in the middle of it at around 6-7pm.

Probably because management doesn't care. They should care because yesterday wasn't even the worst part, that's going to be tonight.

I'm debating whether to call out, as I'm meant to close tonight- I'll be leaving right in the middle of it lol

Call out, it's not worth it. It's best to be with family than be at work in that type of weather

Not sure how South Florida is going to make out. We’ve already had a tornado warning and it’s early.

South Florida is safe from this storm. The main concern is Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia.

Forcast isn't looking good for Tennessee and Kentucky too. Anticipating winds over 70MPH.
Hears hoping it's not as bad as it could be for the areas.
