If they can't handle that then you have a lot more problems with your company than worrying about calling in sick 4 times in 15 months.
Board it up, send family to "mom's" and go to work.
Return to replace a shingle or two and continue life as normal. CAT I Hurricanes are just wind and rain.
Don't be late - Penetate!!!
Seriously, if you're wife is a basket case...call the chief pilot and say that you will not be there due to personal emergency and hurricane evacuation. If the pilot doesn't support you - quit....or you can go in and do your job. The decision is yours.
Personally, I work for a company that would release me with no harm / no foul. However, some companies I realize are not like this.
I organize my world like this:
1. Family
2. Extended Family
3. Friends
4. Work
