Gustav

We're in Zachary, LA. Still have power but it went out last night. Good luck to those of you who had to evacuate.

Houston may still get it as it whips around and takes a hard left, but I'm praying hard for those improved levies in New Orleans and everyone in that area of our country... they don't need a repeat of Katrina 3 years later, just as many are back on their feet.

Here in Oklahoma City we're being told that Gustav will move in by Wednesday we'll be getting up to 8" of rain with localized flooding. Far better than the direct hit the gulf coast took.

I wish good luck to those of you who will be affected by it. You will be in my prayers.

Well, it seems that a lot of Baton Rouge is now without power. We drove back from Zachary today (about an hour past BR) and we had no power there and drove past tons of gas stations and businesses that were closed. My parents' house in New Orleans has power, but six blocks away I don't.

LoveBunny, glad to hear you, your family, your Boxster, your shoes and your purses are all going to be OK.

We are getting Gutav's rains today in Chicago.

I sure hope the new storms brewing out in the Atlantic don't mess up our TOD trip next week.

"Gary in BR" sent me a message from his phone. He's been holding up through the storm in his home in Baton Rouge. He said that he and his family (and the cars too) made it through the storm okay. They've got some roof and fence damage though, so they didn't make it totally unscathed. He's without power and internet right now, but says he'll be back on the board soon and with a vengeance.
