I’m on the Sabine 95 miles inland.
As long as the eye is to my East, I’m OK.
But if it’s to my West, another Rita for sure

Without an honest exchange of ideas, how can a mind grow?

Is this part of Obama’s change?  My friends in New Orleans are quite concerned.  At least, Louisiana now has a governor who will do something.  Jindal has already called out his national guard.

You don’t have to be a moron to be a liberal Democrat but it sure helps.

rebtex:

Looks like we’ll get the wet side here for sure. That’s the side that spins the tornadoes out, as you well know. Good luck, pal.

Your family leaving? If you’re on the Sabine, then the track is right to you.

And, Doc: Yeah, we finally have a governor here who doesn’t just sit on his hands and bleat for the feds to save us.

The future ain’t what it used to be.....

Today, as I was returning from Louisiana, the radio station reported that Beauregard Parish schools would not hold class tuesday nor wednsday. Not because of storm threats, but because their busses were going to be used to evacuate New Orleans.
I had to chuckle!
I remember the arrogance last time when they were asked to evacuate on school busses.
Nagin INSISTED that they weren’t good enough.
Long story short, the available busses (enough seating to haul a vast majority of the New Orleans residents) wound up being flooded & useless.
I guess they learned a lesson.
.
..
Meanwhile, at the DeRidder airport, there are literally THOUSANDS of temporary FEMA housing units that have been picked up from folks.
THey were deemed un-useable due to a “formaldehide” smell.

THanks, Pilgrim.
Ya’ll lay low. And good luck!
We’re stayin’ like we did with Kat/Rita.
I have way too much livestock to try to move.

Without an honest exchange of ideas, how can a mind grow?

Good luck guys, I hope for the best.

Excuse me, you were saying?

’Preciate that!

Without an honest exchange of ideas, how can a mind grow?

Same here. Thanks. We’ll know by Sunday.....

The future ain’t what it used to be.....

yeah, reb, pilgrim, you always have a sanctuary here in DFW if you need it.  We house a lot of katrina refuges and can do it again.

You don’t have to be a moron to be a liberal Democrat but it sure helps.

THanks, DocDave!
I think the nursing home is retreating up that way.
We’ll start moving them out in the morning.

I heard they might postpone the Republican Convention.

God must be a Democrat.

Ha! Lestat!
THe DemCon got a couple tornado’s.
You don’t think the RepCon will let themselves be outdone!
Not just 1 hurricane..possibly 2 !

er...Sidney Poitier???

Barack Obama: All hat and no cattle since 1997!

God be with you fellah’s!  Let’s see what the power of prayer can accomplish!  You will have mine.

Combating Republican dirty tricks since 2002!

08:00, been watching the sat sweeps and she is still tracking west by north. NOAA has upped her to Cat3, with sustained winds of 115mph, the eye tracking between the main Cayman Islands.

Here is NOAA’s National Hurricane center webpage. You can download tracking maps from the link at bottom of page.

I see a book potential here.  Dog Men Fly In the Wind!

What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Oooh, Gustavs a force 4 heading for force 5.  Keep your heads down, Lousianians.  Better yet GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!!

You don’t have to be a moron to be a liberal Democrat but it sure helps.

Its just a hurricane. Surrenderingt what you own to the government by abandoning it is simply ignorant.

That would of course depend on where you are.

If you’re in the low lands get the heck out.

Brokewings have a problem with weather. Natives don’t. We just don’t enjoy it.

I just had a briefing at the EOC (yeah, I’m here at midnight - go figure).....

This beast could be a category 5 storm by the time it makes landfall, with sustained winds of 165 mph and a tidal surge of 20.4 feet on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain.

Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard, Lafourche, and St. Tammany Parishes and some others are ordering mandatory evacuations.

This ain’t pretty, folks. This thing has the potential to be much bigger than Katrina. The levees in New Orleans probably won’t hold, and Slidell on the north shore will go under again with the tidal surge.

I’m here at the EOC for the duration. It’s gonna be a long, long week.

The future ain’t what it used to be.....

We’re just in.
Our county is mandatory evacuating.
We have too much to tend to leave.
AND for those that leave, they can’t get back in until the power is restored.
That could be a few days to a few weeks.
I can’t chance it, so we’ll stay.
And my little one is in the pharmacy locally & will need to be available immediately afterward.

Hopefully, with Jindal as Gov, things will get done right this time.  Too bad the hate-filled lefties are playing this against the RNC convention.  Sick....
I hope Gustav decreases in force at it approaches landfall, like hurricanes usually do, and hope the better preparedness works out better for those affected by this natural occurrence.
Nature isn’t benign.

Save America; boycott the MSM.

That should be: ”as it approaches landfall”

Save America; boycott the MSM.

RebTex be safe this storm looks almost as bad as Katrina. Scarey stuff here… I think we are lucky in ND that we only have to put up with Tornados and Snow Storms.

Thank Ya’ll!
We appreciate the Left’s and Right’s thoughts & Prayers.
By-gones are by-gones.
We’ll get with Ya’ll later!

Reb-Tex, Pilgrim,

Y’all be safe out there.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.

Pilgrim,

Be Careful!

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

Have not heard anything specific about Slidell, so hopefully Pil is back at the Casa by now, sorting out the wind debris.

THe Slidel area is without power. There was a report of a possible funnel cloud not too far East of there.

Without an honest exchange of ideas, how can a mind grow?

Yea, Hancock county in MS and St Tam in LA both lost power in mid afternoon. I watched WLOX13 TV news online several times through the day, they tracked several tornadoes. Just talked to my brother(our man in FEMA) and he says Slidell got only minimal flooding and scattered wind damage. So hopefully Pil is only having to deal with evac related domestic situations.

How is the flood situation in your neck of the woods?

Una Salus Victus Nullam Sperare Salutem

We’re in good shape.
We lost power early yesterday evening & went on back-up power.
We took over 6” of rain last night. Luckily, we needed the rain & now the ponds are full!
Other than a few broken tree tops, we came through unscathed.
Hopefully, Pilgrim had as good a’ luck

Without an honest exchange of ideas, how can a mind grow?

I’d hate to be in Pilgrims shoes.  You’re on duty at the EOC and not available to watch your own place or help your own out in the case something bad happened.

Hope things went well for him.
