Trigger:
Hurricane discussion... This is our evacuation plan...so far. Since hubby was leaving town on sunday, heading to northern LA to see a friend. I did not want to be left behind while a storm approached. So we decided that I would go with him and we would see if we could then go to his aunts for a couple of days.... Before we leave....We have some plywood to board up the front windows that have wooden shutters. The back of the house has brick only so we have to come up with some sort of fasteners...home depot will have them I am sure. Today I gathered some supplies at the store, gallons of water, cans of tuna, baked beans, bread, mustard,peanut butter, some fruit granola bars nuts. WE have flash lights and lanterns. Before we leave we will fill up the washing machine and the bath tub with water in case we need that. The cats have plenty of fresh water and food and I will have the pet sitter come to check on them. We will know more by saturday for sure. lafayette is about 2 1/2 hours west of new orleans and jsut down the block from new Iberia, and east of lake charles. bizi this is really interesting site: http://www.stormpulse.com/ move the arrows to move the center of attention...it shows both storms at once and seems to be active, clicking on gustav will give you specifics...of course this is all speculative and there are different forecasted tracts/models that take it to other places I liked the way this showed the other countries and interactive nature. I also use: www.hurricanecity.com it shows tracking models at the lower right of the screen. these models are not in agreement right now so we shall see.....

My parents gave my sister their locked box of paperwork last night in case there is a madatory evacuation order while they are here in Florida.
I'm hoping that both Gustuv and TS. Hannah are gentle or go away. How far inland will you go, Bizi? Will you wait for a warning or a watch or are you going to take off before the roads get crowded? Good luck. Stay safe. Pack some goodies for the car. Mari Last edited by Mari; 08-29-2008 at 09:16 AM. |

Bloomberg has a good text discussion of what is happening and what is supposed to happen. Mari |

They are here -- in a nearby hotel.
Hubby acts hyper around them -- like the energizer bunny and stops listening to me. Dad says he will be back here at the apt at 10:30 am. HA! I told him that I would still be sleeping. We are watching Gustav because they are flying home on Monday -- not a good day to be changing planes in Atlanta and trying to get to Texas. Mostly, everything with them is ok. Mari |

I have been thinking of you guys whenever i hear the weather forecast which is often up here.
I am so glad your parents aren't staying long. This year sounds far less stressful than last year. I hope it is. Why did you buy so many almonds? I adore almonds. I don't buy them because I cant stop eating them once I have them Bobby |
