They are asking me to fly next Monday. I don't know what the status of the area will be then, and if the hurricane decides to change direction or something..

Whatever is left of Irma should be be gone by the weekend... in looking at the map, it looks like it went west over Mississippi...

Not sure what Jose is gonna do though...

What kind of dumb question is this? You tell the client you'll go. If the flights are canceled on Monday, you tell your client you can't go because of the weather and flights are canceled. Or go earlier. Why are you sweating the small stuff?

Pretty much. I'm perplexed at how this is even a question for someone who is in a position to have clients.

Why the condescension from everyone? Lack of anger management/emotional IQ?

I didn't put every damn detail in the post because I didn't think I would get roasted for a simple question.

This trip is a long duration. If I fly safely there on Monday but the hurricane decides to switch directions and come in my path during my stay, what then?

The lack of IQ is on your end it seems. Put on your adult pants and handle this with your client.

Here are your options:
"I don't feel safe flying so close to a hurricane"
"I'll be there on Monday"

You came here to say you're scared of a hurricane and you aren't sure what to do. None of us can help you with that especially without relevant details. If the trip is a long duration, then what's the issue? If you needed to leave the next day, that would be completely different than the next week.

What if it heads west and hits Cuba? Or south? Or maybe moves into the Gulf and hits Louisiana? Then you'll be fine.

Then you get to have an adventure.

Right now Jose looks a bit lost at sea, you'd look like a fool cancelling right now. Keep an eye on things and if it's looking like it's going to be bad the day before you fly re-evaluate then.

My concern is not just with the flight. I'm not in a good situation if I manage to fly safely into a city where a hurricane is scheduled to hit the next day, am I? This isn't hard.

it's not a hurricane now and it certainly won't be next week. Charlotte will see, if anything, a fair amount of rain and very little else.

EDIT: are you talking about Jose?

I wonder if this would fall under a workplace safety concern. I know here if you are concerned about your safety you have every right to refuse to do a job and they can't fire you. I would check with OSHA and see if it could apply here. I think it only really applies to stuff like operating machinery and the guard is broken, that kind of thing. But worth checking into.

Now if you're a first responder like a search and rescue paramedic or a fireman then it's kinda in your job description to literally go into danger. But if you're an office worker or something then it's probably a stupid idea to literally go fly into a storm. I'd be surprised if the planes will even be running, they'll probably cancel lot of flights. Of course it just means your work will ask you to drive.

You really have some personal issues to sort out, attempting to degrade a random person on an internet forum. I am more concerned with the aftermath my family would face if something were to happen to me.

This is not a simple cancellation for me because there are millions of dollars at stake depending on the outcome of my visit.
I am not familiar with these types of situations which is why I created a post. If you cannot control your anger, why post? I don't need that garbage polluting my mind. Go post elsewhere.

To all of this

You're afraid of rain? B/c that's all your going to get. You have a greater chance of dying driving your car right now.

Bah, it isn't going to get hit with a hurricane. As long as flights are still going in and coming out then you will be fine.

Next Monday. Apparently this week the hurricane is supposed to hit the city I was going to, albeit not as bad (Charlotte).

Do I have any justification to decline? The way I see it, the hurricane may or may not pass out of NC by next Monday, but I feel dumb even taking a 1% risk.

Apparently all the flights inbound to Charlotte were canceled already from my home city, for flights this week.

What does this weeks weather have to do with next weeks weather? What city are you flying from?
OP, did you even bother to check the predicted weather this coming Monday?

this is what has me confused. He can't be talking about Irma, right? right? There is simply no reason to think this will effect anything in Charlotte next week. Hell, the rain they will get because of Irma should be done by tomorrow, right?

He's either a snowflake and afraid of the scattered thunderstorms on Tuesday will melt or too stupid to check the weather. Looking at his other threads, I think it's both.
