You won't believe it, but up here at the farm the sun is shinning... not a cloud in the sky (of course this is Texas and that could change in 5 minutes.... and probably will - according to my knees and head!).

Heard from a friend in Houston this morning and it hasn't started raining there either (yet). They're expecting flooding there soon...

I think we're all glued to the TV today. It hit at a Cat 2 so it's not as "bad" as expected but bad enough. Keep the prayers up...

Hugs BD

All the major shelters in North LA are full at this point, BUT, if needed, other places can open shelters.

It's 10:15 and Jimbo's still asleep. He got in about 3:30 this morning (after pulling a 21 hour shift). Well, make that *was* asleep. I can hear him stirring. Got his coffee made and now he's outside on his phone (probably his blackberry too).

It's cloudy and windy here, but it's not from Gustav. We probably won't get anything from him as they are indicating it is tracking NNW. Now if Tropical storm hanna will just go ahead and die an early death, all will be well.

That WILL be bad if she picks up right behind. Still glued to the TV, but they're just saying the same things over and over.... Any news - let us know... Get that boy some coffee and find out what you can... Hugs BD

Well, I missed the time. Jimbo said that he got in about 4:30 this morning. It's 11:41 am here and he's gone again. Don't even know if he will make it home for supper tonight.

Still don't know if the critical needs shelter (supposed to be run by CDC) is up and running. The special needs shelters are at capacity. All shelters here are at capacity and they are looking at opening up more.

They are experiencing the *winds* in Baton Rouge now. The winds are gusting here and I live a pretty far piece from Baton Rouge.

Well, had to call Jimbo back to check the generator. I haven't used this one before, so he had to show me how to crank it (and make sure it would crank).

So, come hell or high water (and where I live, there ain't no flooding), I'm ready. Generator's ready to go, heavy duty power cords are on the porch and oil lamps are full with trimmed wicks.

Barb,
TS Hanna is still out in the Atlantic (and believe it or not, there are several other *hotspots* out there, just waiting to grow up!

Go to this page and you can track Hanna, although it looks like she'll come in somewhere around the Georgia/South Carolina coast (of course you can never tell until it's much closer to land).

Here is the storm track for Gustav (doen't look like we'll get much, maybe a little rain and some wind).

Well, we *escaped* this time around! Some wind damage up here (*we* didn't have any) and now we're under a flash flood warning.

Jimbo got home about 11:00 last night and now he gets to turn around and do it all over again. His duties won't ease up until the Special Needs Shelters are shut down and the last refugee sent home.

Unfortunately, Tropical Storm Ike is projected to come across Cuba and end up in the Gulf. AND, drum roll please, there are two more storms brewing out in the Atlantic.

At least it looks like we're *safe* from Hanna, but the people in Georgia/South Carolina are in her sights.

It's barly sprinkling here this morning. So far the rains have missed us. The radar is showing storms in Texarkana (about 40 miles N of here) but they're going right over us (so far).

The deer were out at the feeder this morning and didn't seem the least bit disturbed so I can't really figure out what's gonna happen around here. Strange weather....

Oh well - it's Texas - could change in 5 miutes... we'll just have to see...
