Congratulations, Dad!!!
Happy retirement!
My dad has been with UPS since just a couple weeks after I was born. It's the reason why I grew up in Louisville.
Can't believe the day has finally arrived.

Please, please, please DO NOT depend on

sirens to get your weather alerts.
Tornado sirens ARE NOT designed to be heard indoors. Period.
Have a NOAA Weather Radio with battery backup in alert mode in your home. It’s as important as a smoke detector.

Atlantic hurricane names aren’t exclusively English because storms impact parts of the Caribbean & Central America that speak Spanish & French.
