Imagine being in the parking lot right after the football game of the century and trying to get home!! This what the interstate from Louisiana to Mississippi was like last night!! An normal trip that would have taken us about 1 1/2 hours took us about seven hours to do and this was good since we took many, many uncrowded back roads. My Dh works in the New Orleans East area so he know these roda ways!!
Prayers are truly being answered as Gustave is weaking so the main thing to be concerned with now is the tidal surge for our area. It looks like it will make land fall maybe 20 miles from our home. Although we have NEVER flooded in all the years I can remember or my grandmother you can never say never and Katrina has proved this theory!! With such tidal surges coming in it will put several towns under water and God willing we will be there to help our neighbors pick up the pieces as we did for Katrina!! Many are getting out of harms way and lives can't be replaced as homes can!! Hard to swallow I know but we're safe and sound and I manged to change my info to be able to access you guys and I will update as often as I can as we keep a close eye on Gustave!!
