So at around 9:20 this morning, I was in my classroom preparing for class – getting my slides ready and setting up the recording – and my phone buzzed.

We've had over a week of significant rain, public K-12 schools have been closed since Friday, and last week we had power outages, trees down, and area roads flooded.
Today, as the rains finally end, we finally got an email from the university about inclement weather. Seems timely.
