Moms View Message Board: General Discussion: Archive September 2008: Karen, Jeanne, Pam...
am I missing anyone? I hope not...stay safe with your evacuation plans. Check in when you can.
Hope all are safe, and on their way, my dks are in Mississippi, they left at 530 am.
We have arrived......I am exhausted. We left @ 6:00 this morning.....met up with a couple outside the motel from Memphis, who have relatives living in Lakeview in N.O. - they left @ 10:00 and had been in the car 3.5 hours, and were trying to get to the I-10/I-59 interchange to head here and were stuck - they should have normally reached that point in 45 minutes. I am SOOOO glad we left early! Apparently traffic is *really* bad now.
My dks should be in Georgia by now, yes they are in Georgia but not to Albany yet.
Karen, the local news said it might reach a Cat 5 and the scope looks like it is going to hit NO again??? I am so hoping it looses steam.. All are in my prayers..
It weakened more than they anticipated passing over Cuba last night, back to a Cat 3, but is expected to strengthen back to a Cat 4. From the track this morning, and what are saying, our area could possibly suffer some serious damages. I have the maximum on flood insurance and upped my homeowners' coverage this year, so we're good there *if*..........
NO is going to get a bad hit. Glad you evacuated! Post when you can!
You are in my thoughts and prayers!
Now Hannah looks as if it is going straight for Florida, maybe my dks will have to evacuate Georgia and go somewhere else. But for now we worry about Gustav...
Kaye, I am afraid - that's why I leave. As much as I'd hate to lose my house and everything in it, I am not one of those people who would stay behind to make sure their house/stuff is OK. I get scared in the hard thunderstorms we get. I totally freak out when I hear the tornado sirens. There is no way I'm staying behind if there is a chance a storm this big will hit us.
Karen Glad to hear you are safe and did evacuate..You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Everyone in the path is in my prayers. I'm glad to hear that you are safe and sound, Karen.
I am having some major concerns over the far reaching effects this storm, and the pending storm season, will have on our already struggling country. These storms impact us all.. Some more so than others but it all ripples out to us all.
Bobbie, you're right. The oil/gas industry will be affected, for sure. New Orleans is a port city, a lot of commodities are transported from New Orleans up the Mississippi River via ship and barge - this storm will impact that in a big way.
Just happy that you are safely away, Karen. Stay safe. I'm praying that Gustav will fizzle soon.
We finally made it to Ft. Worth, TX. It took about 14 hours to get here - normally would have taken us about 9 hours. So far, we haven't been hit as badly as they thought but it's not over. I'm on the Westbank in Plaquemines Parish so we are expected to get hit hard. I'm pretty scared... at least we are not there. I have a neighbor who stayed and he says the streets aren't flooded yet. Yeah! The next few hours will tell. DH and I are talking about moving. It's definitely on our minds.
Bobby said "The people that live down in the area of land fall and our nation in general are in my thoughts and prayers.. God bless us all..."
I second Bobby and Yvonne. Lots of thoughts and prayers for all of you.
Momtothree1968, why are you not with your dk's? You probably have already said, and I just missed it.
