Dude, I say call in sick or call RZ and tell him you have to take care of your wife and your house due to the impending hurricane. Don't bother calling an FM, they will tell you to call Z anyway after giving you the GOM schpeel on why you should be at work. Either way, don't leave the wife there by herself to ride out the storm. Sure fire way to be sleeping on the couch for a while.
Having lived in FL my whole life, I ain't scared. This thing is pretty whimpy anyway. Even if it came right over the house, it wouldn't do anything. My wife is totally cool with it. I think the easiest (considering money and the phone call, etc) is to just tough it out, leave tonight, hang in the Lou all day tomorrow, pick up the trip Wednesday, (its only a 2 day), and be back Thursday. By then the storm will have passed and all will be well with the world. My record will still be clean, I'll have a few extra Benjamins in the wallet, and best of all, this whole thing is over and I won't have to stress about it anymore.
