Thinking of all of our friends in the path of Gustav (and Hannah, too). I hope you and yours all get away safely, are able to return to your homes soon, and that all remains well.

Just a quick update from Mississippi Gulf Coast. This morning was absolutely beautiful. I watched the sun rise through the trees this morning. It was hard to believe there is monster storm just beyond the sunrise. As of right now it is getting overcast and the trees was are starting to blow with a light breeze. Making it nice for finishing up the outdoors preparations. As long as the utilities hold up I will keep updating.

Sending good thoughts out to you all and hoping for the best for you. (We're experiencing some winds and rain but absolutely nothing more than a mild storm.)

I'm in Lake Charles, LA and my family can't evacuate due to jobs. Both of my daughters have evacuated but the rest of my family and myself will ride out the storm here. Please keep everyone in LA in your prayers and pray that the storm continues to weaken.

Thanks we will try our best. Don't think I will be online much longer. The feeder bands are here and are hitting us hard. Weatherman just said this is the only the beginning and it is only going to get worse.

Ready and waiting here. Should start getting nasty around 11ish from the news reports. Expect to lose power for I'm guessing a week. Wish us luck!

Thanks Yank. My dilemma at the moment is do I put my big bad mama crown on my head and make Rock stay with me or let him stay with his friend in Lafayette. Oh yi yi

I haven't logged in anywhere here other than the Big Brother forum for so very long but I wanted let all of my neighbors to the North of me on the Gulf Coast that my prayers and thoughts are with all of you. Although I'm relived to see a storm like this is not headed in my direction it leaves my heart heavy because I know others will not be as lucky. So I pray for all of you in this storms path; That you be given the strength to once again endure the preparations,evacuations and that the days ahead go as smoothly as possible and without added incident. That your homes are protected, and that you are given a sense of peace to replace the anxiety. Stay safe everyone!!! I've always thought that Xanax and Valium should be added to the Emergency kit and the Hurricane Readiness list. Perhaps Lowe's and Home Depot should have them on hand and we could pick up a bottle as we pick up our plywood and water.

Right now all is well on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. We are having rain, wind with some higher gusts, but nothing like what is over in Louisiana. Our weather radio is steadily going off with tornado warnings for the Alabama/Mobile area. Nothing here yet,but they are most likely coming. Power is on, coffee is hot and I am on the computer so all is good in my world so far today.

Stay safe, Belle. I'm praying that Gigi's property doesn't get any damage this time around like it did in Katrina. Having trees in your bedroom ceiling isn't much of a laughing matter. I'm watching CNN right now and have a pretty good sense of what's going on...sort of.

Watching CNN just disgusts me. All of their obnoxious little "field" reporters, in an area that has been TOLD to be evacuated. OK, if they want to endanger themselves, that's fine. But last night I saw one of them trying to spontaneously interview Michael Chertoff, and just now, I saw one guy talking about the Nat'l Guard behind him getting ready to deploy, and the guy goes and pulls one over to interview. LET THE PEOPLE DO THEIR JOB CNN!!!! GEEZ!!!
