Let's just say as they were rolling in the water right off the kentwood truck people were loading cases into their buggies and the same went for batteries!!
How many of you out there have an eye on Gustave? Are you planning to evacuate if it heads your way? We're staying put as of now because the closest track won't be out until Saturday and we have a generator so we're ok!

Not planning on evacuating since I'm in Dallas, Texas but my d/h is one of the Ministers who coordinated a lot of the Katrina efforts 3 years ago so we have been called a lot the past 2 days to see what we can offer if the need arises.
We have 4 church buses and 2 vans gassed, packed w/ food, water, pillows, blankets, pre-paid cell phones, etc. and drivers on stand-by if needed. Other than that I am praying so hard that no one is affected like last time.
