I had almost the same experience. Mid move, sky opened up and suddenly my boxes were floating dreams. The crew I hired kept it together, wrapped everything fast, and kept texting updates instead of disappearing. That calm made a huge difference when everything else went sideways. Since then, I always tell people to look for movers who talk and adapt. A neighbor later pointed me to after their stormy move went smoothly, and hearing that story alone sold me on planning better next time.
