Hurricane Gustav



I just looked at the latest update at 11 pm eastern time, for Hurricane Gustav.


If you will look on the Louisiana map and follow the line along the Louisiana Coast, you will see a small dot of yellow.

Do you see it?

Guess what folks? That, my friends, is Morgan City - Steph's house is in Morgan City, ours just west of it 7 miles in Bayou Vista.

I do know it can and will toggle until it comes in, but damn! They have said Morgan City since it was in Cuba!

This projects it in at 120 mph, catagory 3 - the same catagory as Hurricane Andrew hit us in 1992. We had horrific damage in 1992 - shredded every leaf off the trees, broke them, then leveled them. Houses were torn up or off the foundations, roofs ripped off, flooding, no electric for 5 weeks, water was not safe for 3 weeks.

Please pray for it to loose some punch!
Jeremy and Cheyenne just gave me this link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26295161/
We are right at Atchafalaya Bay in the highway showing - west of Houma.

Keep on praying and blowing. It is not looking good for our area. I am getting off the computer for a while, washing laundry and cleaning. The tv is off... lol... I just can't think about this for a while! haha.
