ups tracking and natural disasters


while tracking the package of a purchase that i had made recently, i saw that the latest event in the tracking log of my package was described as NATURAL DISASTER.

i’ve never seen that before, but i’m a little concerned about what that means. does that mean that my package was involved in a natural disaster? does that mean that it is delayed because of a natural disaster? there are many fires here in california raging, so i can see how those fires might delay shipment of a package.

it would, however, be a different story if my package were to say have fallen out of the UPS plane and into a natural disaster.
