“Even though I would stay up until 1 a.m. to do this, the curfew in this town is 11:30 a.m. and everyone I’ve spoken to says the weather isn’t going to clear up from here. there.” Rhett continued. “So it sucks because I’ve literally been hosed down twice in my career, tonight being the second time.”
