Hurricane Gustav is headed right at us here in South Louisiana and it is now rated as a category 5. So we are running away for a few days. (just can't face the danger and more damage than we got from Katrina, and this storm seems like it could be worse).
So I will let y'all know how our homestead did after we get back from Texas.

Beelce, is that what they're reporting locally? Weather.com still has it listed as Category 4 - still a major monster. Either way, get the flock out of there. My mother and sister are in Avondale and are packing up to stay with other relatives in Lafayette (although not sure if thats far north enough). I have other friends and family in the area who are probably high-tailing it too.

Best of luck Beelce! Let's hope New Orleans doesn't get the brunt of the storm. It broke my heart to see what happened to the city last time. Plus, the Saints need a home to play in.

B..I was hoping very hard that it would miss you. And I also heard them say this could be worse than Katrina..I 'm glad you hightailed it out of there and you went far enough into Texas that you won't get it there either. Good Luck to you and your family, be safe.

Thank you all....I got back to the house 10-4-08 and found very little damage. The house and cars are fine. Lots of tree limbs down, and looks like about 6-8 trees knocked down also and I lost the canopy that covers the tractor.. ...Thanks goodness that the storm was not that strong...It did major damage to Baton Rouge which is only 45 miles from us...Looks like all of my friends and family came out ok this time...Thanks again to all

Glad to hear all is okay. Don't hurt yourself clearing those branches and trees. More good news is it looks like Ike will miss you too.

Beelce, Glad to hear all is well and not lost! One question? Did the hurricane cause this time warp thing or something? How the heck did you get to this date already? To qoute you "I got back to the house 10-4-08 and found very little damage" I don't how you did that but you best get really busy on your props!
