Hurricane Gustav & Now IKE!!!
 

It's looking like Hurricane Gustav is heading right for Louisiana. :(

Do we have any members here in that area? Looks like Mississippi and Texas will be in the mix, too. I know we have several members in Texas and a few in Mississippi.

Please ya'll.....be careful. Take precautions or better yet just leave (if you can) until it's over. It's hard to believe that it's been three years since Katrina. I'm hoping the memories of that will cause people to be overly prepared (if there is such a thing :rolleyes:).

I'm praying that this one takes a turn and remains out at sea but it's not looking that way. Everyone in it's path are in my prayers. :grouphug:

I watched it on the tv last night.

I can't believe that after 3 years, THEY ARE GOING THROUGH ALL OF THIS AGAIN!!!

Those poor people.

They lost their homes 3 years ago, some of them came back and rebuilt, and now they are in danger AGAIN??

Life stinks. And so does the weather.

I do not understand this at all.

I agree it stinks that its so soon, just makes me wonder if perhaps, this area is destined to be under water, by all laws of nature it should be, its anywhere from 8 to 15 feet below sea level and is sinking each year, unless they build some sort of barrier like they have in Holland I see no escape from the constant water issues

I hope everyone in its path is safe and pays attention, don't take any chances its not worth it, be safe everyone down that way

The news today said it may hit west of New Orleans which is mostly inhabited. Let's pray it goes west and doesn't cause the devastation it did three years ago.

Hi all and we need all your prayers. I live just a few miles north of New Orleans and mandantory evacuation has begun. Some poor people are still living in FEMA mobile homes since Katrina. Buses and train are already boarding people to get them to safety. Your right weegot...N.0. is around 10-15 feet below sea level. During Katrina, the Levee around the city broke and thats why so much flooding. I just pray that everyone will evacuate....some refuse to leave their homes. Thanks in advance for all your support and prayers.

you be careful Pep dont hesitate too long, I know I would be tempted to wait a day or two to see if its path changes, but it sure looks like it heading towards you

Sandy, yes they are saying that it may move a little west of us, but that is not good news,,,the east side of a hurricane is the worst side...more rain and more tornados spawned from the hurricane...all we can do is pray and stay prepared.

I didn't know that LaPepper. Please be safe and we'll keep praying for all of you. :hug:

we are already feeling effects of the outer bands here as it approaches western Cuba and have really nasty thunderstorms with heavy squalls of rain...........

my thoughts and prayers are with all along the gulf coast who may be impacted. PLEASE rather leave and be safe:grouphug:

My sister and her team have already been put on alert. She told them she was going on a trip to Wales with me but would be back on the 17th for the second wave to assist. She is a Team Coordinator for FEMA/DMORT.

She spent 6 months in NO after Katrina.

I wish you all well and hope the storm fizzles.
