Damn. Gustav hasn't even come ashore...
And there's reports of a tornado not 30 miles from where I am now...

It's gonna be a long 24 hours for SacredCow. Vibes requested....

6. Have they considered evacuating you yet?
I heard the track had changed slightly, but I must admit I just got home and have not studied the new models.

Please stay safe and get out soon if you need to go :grouphug:

9. Baton Rouge doesn't evacuate....
It's inland, and high enough to not flood, for the most part. The area I'm in won't flood- if it did, NOLA would be COMPLETELY submerged.

15. I heard that the eye wall has closed, and yes,
pressure dropping. You are all in my thoughts until this passes, and afterwards. Hunker down.

7. You have all the vibes that I can send you.
I am in Houston.

Looks like we will be OK if the hurricane stays on the same path.

Y'all stay safe.

A friend of my is sending her cousins to my house, they can't find a room to stay at.

Looks like everything is booked.

I will be thinking of you.

16. Thanks for the vibes...
Yes, things here have been booked for a while.

It's raining now, and stronger winds from the feeder bands coming ashore.

the feeder bands are coming in now, so it's going to be wild before too much longer.

That's right. Good ol' Eugene OR had a funnel cloud near the airport that briefly touched ground.
