I think it’s ridiculous that I’m driving through a hurricane warning to get to class right now and that possible tropical storm conditions are possible and I am expected to act like nothing is happening and get to school. My JOB has closed for the inclamate weather, why won’t my school provide the same safety efforts as those around them?

I don’t understand how UNF can keep open when a category 4 hurricane is forecasted to hit north Florida. In honesty, they don’t know where the hurricane is going to go, it’s just a prediction.
It’s ridiculous that you’re putting our lives in danger and you know that we could have families in the pan handle. Shame.
