Jaime and I are still in LaPlace waiting to get a better idea about where Gustav is headed. We've been watching this storm for almost a week now and it still hasn't gotten into the Gulf. Although the storm has intensified to a Category 3 we still have no better idea where it will make landfall. Most of our preparations are already made and we plan on spending today getting together the last things on our list. One of our neighbors has already boarded up their windows and the other is trusting in his high-dollar hurricane glass. We've got our plywood ready to go. At the time I write this (Sat. morning) our plan is to watch Gustav all day and make a decision one way or the other by tonight. If we evacuate, it will be early Sunday morning before daybreak. We'll go north up I-55 and cut over to Natchez once past McComb, MS. From Natchez we'll go up Hwy 15 to Mangham, LA where my parents live. Thanks so much for all the calls and emails the past couple of days. Your prayers and encouragement mean a lot.
