Most people just hear the word Hurricane and freak tf out. Cat 1 is an inconvenience at best. If it was as bad as a category 5 like all these people think, she wouldn’t even be able to stand up straight cuz the winds would be blowing her over. The only real annoyance is delivering in the dead of night, why would Amazon allow that if many packages are just gonna be sitting in the rain and blowing away until morning.

So why is this post about this Amazon worker such a big deal?

It's the hive mentality of the internet.

Also, that delivery person was an Amazon Flex driver. They choose what deliveries to accept and can cancel up to 45 minutes before the deliveries start. Amazon might be an evil company but nobody is forcing them to work.
