Today has been a busy day--it started yesterday evening after work with hurricane preparations. Upon waking this morning, I started outside and identified everything that might become a projectile in the garage and stored some of my heavier potted plants on the side of the house that is usually out of the wind. Hurricanes tend to ignore wind patterns. Am I doing anything special? Not really. Just trying to find high, dry places for some of my valuables (i.e. porcelain cats, quilts, framed art, and my Persian rugs) just in case it floods. I may be naive, but flooding is what I most anticipate. So much for my freshly painted walls!DoD service members in the NOLA area were given mandatory evac orders to begin on 0800 30 Aug, so the cats and I will be hitting the road tomorrow. There's still a chance that Gustav won't make landfall in LA, but I shouldn't have to return until Wed morning at the earliest.
More to follow. . . .
