Gustav.........
Well guys, it looks like this is gonna be a nasty one. I was hoping for a W. LA landfall or Texas but it is forecasting right down the pipe where I live. I'm boarding up tomorrow and hunkering down tomorrow evening, probably start getting nasty around Monday afternoon, lose power around Monday evening and maybe poke our head out for a look see maybe Tuesday noon.
Wish us the best and the PSD goes to work Tues afternoon. We have everything we need but the forum will be offline needless to say...hope my forum friends in the low laying parishes have prepared properly, esp. 'miller feed'

For those of you that are interested, here is the best tracking site that I have found. This is going to be a monster I'm afraid.

Be safe Jay. . Hope it dies down some before it gets there. My son lives in DeRidder so I'll be watching this one close.

Jay, after you get things boarded up, I'd think again about riding it out. I'll admit that if I were in your shoes I'd probably try to ride it out also, but if you've got places to stay (not New Orleans) I'd think long and hard about doing that. If you can get out before the traffic gets too bad, it won't be a bad trip. If you wait too long, you'll just be stuck sitting on the freeway for hours on end.
Rick made a wise decision heading out this morning to beat the bad traffic. Let us know how it went after the power comes back on. We'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
