FedEx was stymied by a line of thunderstorms Wednesday that dropped several tornadoes in NW, NE, Mississippi and West, Central and East Tennessee. They had to scramble around 24 hours of really bad weather. What’s more important, the lives of the pilots or getting there on time?
Still bad weather in NE MS yesterday and today. We’ve got friends in the Delta who are currently in the ‘safe room’ at their local hospital.
I do Christmas shopping in August and September. Labor Day sales are a great time to Christmas shop. I want a RELAXED Christmas week to bake treats and do stuff besides worry about whether this or that will still be in stock or get here in time.
Memphis airport was shut down - meaning no one allowed on the ramp - because of thunderstorms during the day sort outbound launch on Wednesday. Add the bad weather at many destinations and that’s a problem. All the freight eventually got out, though.
Live of course, but in this sick and twisted country, I bet the selfish people didn’t care about that.
Such is Obama’s Amerikkka.
