Default Re: Hurricane info

Yes, we're ok. *smiles*

Obviously, we have elec and cable still... There were a few hours during the night when the lights were flickering on and off... Periods when we had elec and then didn't... But, I'm happy to say that we are still up(at least for now)

The wind did blow our shed out of the tree and when that happened, I had to go outside to move the car so that it wouldn't get hit.

I'll be honest, there was a split second when I thought that wind was going to pick the shed up while I was starting the car to try to move it and slam it into the car with me in it... But, thankfully, that didn't happen.

There was also a time last night where I thought something might get more out of hand than I had anticipated, but, I'm glad that it didn't.

It's still hitting us right now, and I expect will be for a while since it's suppose to stall out over Louisiana and dump rain over us for the next few days...

Tornadoes DID touch down here, where we are, but, thankfully, they didn't come by us.

Now of course, is the time we need to be on the look out for tornadoes, so, we still are trying to listen to the news in case they warn us there is another one in the area, but, so far, it's just a lot of rain and wind.

We got mostly tropical storm force winds, though, we did get some hurricane force winds too.

I'll try to keep everyone up-dated on what's going on for as long as I can...

(Of course, I'm sure most of you know that there is water in New Orleans and St. Bernard again due to the levees...)
