I forewarn any clients with whom I have appointments that I may not be able to make it, and plan for working at home rather than risking the roads unless the storm is lighter than predicted.

It's funny, I remember during Hurricane Matthew I got a call from a company trying to sell me something and wanted me to get on the computer. I told him we were in the middle of a storm and I had no power at that time. He didnt understand, I told him to watch the news and I hung up.
