We checked on the law and there is none in Boca Raton. Again, don't blame the building; blame your boss.
When we got hit twice last year I was the first out of here for Francis. Our office is 1/2 mile from a barrier island so I son't beleive in taking chances.
Our firm was lucky, literally as soon as the roads opened people came to work without being called. If someone didn't have power after 3 days the owners offered to pay for hotel rooms.

Sounds like this may be something you have to decide on your own. The way this storm is wrapping up it could explode at any given moment. If you are in a watch/warning area, you could always print out a copy of the local Hurricane statements for your area where they say you should begin to prepare immediately and hand it to your boss/bosses and tell them you're going to take their advice. The cone is just that: a general idea of where they THINK it might go. If you're worried about getting fired, I don't blame you. But think of it this way: if you don't have enough time to prepare your home and it gets destroyed, you won't be all that worried about your job. 
Glad to hear you're prepared...unfortunately, there are probably many people who are not.

Models (bam and ) shifting south again late in the forecast. Lots of uncertainty 72 hours out. and for what it's worth, temperatures here in the panhandle approaching 100! Ridiculous

FNC just said that Hurricane Watches/Warnings have gone up for some parts of the SE Florida Peninsula. I couldn't get all the info written down but no doubt it's in the advisory.
I am wondering what changes in the track the 5pm advisory will/will not bring. Like Terra said, communication is difficult. I hope Mayor Nagin and Kathleen Blanco are paying attention.

Check the main page for the 2PM update.
RECON DATA AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THE SIZE OF THE STORMIS INCREASING...ESPECIALLY TO THE NORTH OF THE CENTER. THE FORECAST WIND RADII ARE EXPANDED BASED ON THESE DATA...WIND RADII CLIPER GUIDANCE...AND GLOBAL MODELS DEPICTING AN EXPANDING SYSTEM.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT COULD AFFECT A LARGE AREA AND ONE SHOULD NOT FOCUS ON THE EXACT TRACK.

It's Golden Beach south, including all the keys for the Warning. Golden beach is north of Miami and south of Hollywood and Ft. Lauderdale. So Miami-Dade county is under the hurricane warning, Broward is just under a watch/Tropical Storm warning.
hasn't formed an eye yet, and is pretty steady, it's not doing any reforming right now and seems to be on track. I don't expect it to landfall in southern florida, but some of the winds will get close. The keys, however, will likely get socked some.

I have been an employer in south Florida for almost 20 years. We keep our office open or close it based on the official hurricane statements. When Tropical storm warnings/hurricane watches go up we start preparing the business for the storm. When hurricane warnings go up the office is closed within two hours. Since the 100+ employees come from north, south and west, they have always been told to make the preparations they need to make, when they need to make them. I remind them but I don't go around and make sure they are getting their own preparations done. I never fired anyone for going home to prepare for a hurricane.

It has a circulation center, but it is not a full on visible eye as of yet.

Mike...they have issued inland hurricane warnings for Miami and a couple of other cities.
SEFL: Please don't take my comments personally. I wasn't trying to say that ALL employers would fire people, but some will threaten. My husband's boss is one of them.

Lets let the blow hards at FOX and CNN handle the blame game...I have a question, it seems forward speed is up to 14 mph, faster than anticipated..will this make the storm have a better chance of getting picked up by the approaching trough from the NW later in the forecast, or worst? Any met thoughts?

Experts how sure are you that high pressure will remain strong enough so that this storm doesn't strike N.O - Mobile ?

I would be surprised if we don't have a "Cane" at the 5PM update by the way the system is developing now. Very warm waters, is ominous, and the winds increasing as well as the lowering of the pressure. Tel tale signs that a "cane" is coming.
