Well, looks like Gustav is really coming for New Orleans. We've boarded up our house, packed our stuff, and are on our way out of town. Gonna be staying an hour north at my parent's house, so we'll still be somewhat in the thick of it.
Had to leave the Rhino (nickname for my car) in the garage. Just no way to get it to safety, plus our other 2 cars, 1-month-old twins and my wife. Besides, there are already a half-dozen guys running flood cars - I guess I could too. I'll let y'all know how everything goes! |

So far so good. The wors should be here in about 20 minutes, and last for 4 hours. But, it should only be about 60-mph winds sustained (we're about 100 miles from the eye). Not as bad as we thought.
