Yesterday dozens of tornadoes ripped through the south in many different areas.  It appears that Alabama was the worst hit state as they have reported 162 deaths and hundreds of buildings being flattened.  Tennessee reported 32 deaths, Georgia 13, Virginia 8 and one so far in Kentucky. 

As a reader of Hit Trophy’s “Hit Topics” blog, you must be wondering why we’re commenting on these storms that didn’t even take place in our region of Northwest Ohio.  The reason we’re commenting on the destruction that these storms have produced is because there is a chance that the shipping of our HitTrophy.com orders could be delayed.  Anyone who has ordered awards farther south than Kentucky should expect an extra day or two for their awards to arrive.  UPS even made an official comment stating that, “Severe weather in Louisville, KY, last night caused significant disruption to operations at Worldport, UPS's main hub in the U.S. As a result, some shipments may experience unavoidable delays.  
The UPS Service Guarantee does not apply when transportation networks are disrupted due to conditions beyond our control.” 

We at Hit Trophy just wanted our customers to be aware of these situations and the reasoning behind the delays that your awards may have.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to our friends in the South as they try to piece their lives back together at this time.
