Hurricane Season is Upon Us

Gustov is the correct spelling.


Bobby Jindal is doing a good job so far, already ahead of the curve.

Yea, apparantly all the scientists and meteorologists, National Hurricane Center and media got it wrong, spelling it Gustav. Thanks for sorting that out Lile.

Well hey I knew it was without the FF's so VUCK OVV

Local media in fool hysteria mode.I am a realist and understand full well the situation but locally way too much is uncertain,speculation and guess work right now.Come late Friday night,Sat. afternoon,we will have a clearer picture.Today was absolute chaos and just finding time to "Check" one self was near impossible.All of the local shelters and branches of SPCA have been evacuated and judging by the dealings with clientèle today,there frankly is just a bit of Panic taking over sound reasoning and an elevated sense of awareness.We had sooooo many request for Ace ,VX history's and misc. items ,I stopped counting at noon.You really have to bite your tounge when dealing with some,One of our receptionist was pretty freaked already,and every ten minutes here comes another wide eyed client who just watched the news and is declaring "It'll be a cat 5,direct hit and were doomed" (Word for word,I kid u not).Much is being tied together in conjunction with The anniversary of Katrina Tomorrow.We have ceased all boarding of animals,contacted our go to location and made arrangements in Northern Louisiana with a jump off point,if necessary to be Saturday night.A number of non essential staff are heading out tomorrow with a skeleton crew staying until the last minute......and 1 or 2 that may choose to ride it out with a couple of in depth medical cases,and to keep an all around watchful eye on this place All clinic pets are tagged,up to date and ready to be evacuated with trailer on grounds.Should be interesting ?Biggest problem will be Gasoline.....again.Last time ,some wanna be thugs punched our tanks on the jeep and rental car in the immediate after math leaving them dry and imobile....this time they will not feel so daring.

Hope ya don't mind me Hijacking your thread Young blood,Sort of rambling but I had to get it off the shoulders and will post more here until it gets too hairy here.Might just grab the camera and throw some visuals into it......This ol' boy Gustov looks a bit pissed off and where ever it takes aim,Texas,Mississippi,Alabama,Florida,Ga. better be good to go!!!

Im all geared up and over prepared.............so now I get lost in some Boxing and just a few Fosters

Yo, you ain't hijicking'...you are adding. Is why I made this thread, to keep informed, from all perspectives. I'll handle the tracking of the systems unless anyone else wants to join in...and anyone and everyone interested and especially affected I hope adds too.

The more info. the better. And I hope all the hype is for not, as I know regardless of rebuilt levee's, the Big Easy does not need another direct hit...especially by a monster. So good luck, my friend.

Gustav - Google News


National Hurricane Center

Also forming is tropical storm Hannah. Bit early to worry about this just yet...but is something to be mindful of.

Not knowing is killing me.Looks like shits pretty deep,Pretty sure I'm outta here come either sun.AM or night.Just trying to time the traffic and have to work around the counter-flow as you have only 3 ways to go,Texas,Mississippi or Florida.Have family in Florida but they have concerns with "Hanna" and /or Gustov.Looks like Gas is drying up fast....half the stations are empty and the others have massive waits.They have dispatched 1,500 national guard into the area and are very much prepped for what ever happens.....unlike last time.The huge concern in my immediate area is "The Harvey Canal" a few miles away...."Rita" busted it up and Corp of engineers repairs are not inspiring confidence,If we end up on the east side of winds,Many expect the Levees to fail and possibly the Flood gates........in that case we are the new city of Atlantis.Thay have armed guards at the ATM's and limit you to with drawls at the ones that remain functional.The clinic is evacuated and all staff with exception of myself and the owner remain.....It really is eerie how quite it is now.People have that wide eyed losing it look,Stress rules the day and starting to see some "doing dirt",Stealing empty gas cans off Lawn cutters trailers....also driving like lunatics,I passed 4 accidents coming home last night (3 mile drive).Anyway,just rambling with mind racing.

Heres a question,How in the hell do you transport 1100 VHS tapes and various Almanacs,score books and record books Looks like ,In the worst case scenario.....My Collection will be a big anchor Lol
