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.

We stayed here in mandeville, lots of damage 0 real problems. We are running on generator power. Hell, I already cut my lawn! Back to work

The porsche is not allowed on the streets, lots of limbs and branches laying around. WAY South louisiana- namely port fouchon, where 1/3 the nations oil is processed got slammed.

Hopefully a lot more will have power soon. My brother works for Entergy and said their crews are all over trying to get power back up.

I'm back.
As Kirk said a little fence damage and a new roof on the way, thanks State Farm.

We where with out power for 5 days.
Its surreal seeing gas lines and living under a curfew.

Thanks for the prayers.

I'm glad to hear you're okay. I went to the grocery store the other day and there were guys with guns from the National Guard standing inside the store. It was really weird.
