I have not had much time to post on our blog lately because of GUSTAV and all the prep for its arrival. We had family in from Broussard, so at least we had a good visit for several days. Thankfully all their houses and camps are fine!
Things got pretty bad on Monday afternoon and lasted until late in the night. Our yard is covered in limbs and leaves, but thankfully that is all the damage we have. This morning we woke to heavy rain and flooding. More is scheduled for this afternoon.
Gustav really doesn't want to go away, and we have had lots of tornado warnings! We are still conserving water and have power, but across the street is still out of electricity! Toby took his generator over to an elderly neighbor until her power is back on.
I-49 is bumper to bumper with traffic from people trying to go back home. On the way up they had the counterflow, but now they are back to trying to get home without the added lanes. 1.something million people trying to return home.........slow......congested.....yikes!
Toby is over at a friends trying to help them get the water out of their house! The sun has gone back in and it looks like more rain. Toby just called and said our friends will be coming here to eat. Hopefully the carpet is all that was damaged in their home!!!!!!!
The tropics are really active and looks like we could be dealing with another storm soon!
