After Katrina I got almost all my reputable news right here. If anyone in this tribe is staying in New Orleans during Gustav and is reading this, please keep us posted if you can on the actual goings on down here.

    I agree. We all want the people in our our beloved to endure. Take care all of you. Responses to this storm seem thoughjful reations to the Katrina disaster. Thanks for this splendid tribe.

      WWL and LPBi are doing a fantastic job again. Living in Baton Rouge, I had almost forgotten how much I respect and love WWL.

    My mom's out there and stayed home in Broadmoor. She says the ground was bone dry a few hours ago, and the rain and gusts are making for nice weather.

    She's weird, but at least she's OK!

      Same here in Old Jeff. No water to speak of, and minimal debris flying in the wind, and our street still has power (knock wood that it stays that way through the night!).

      hey yall,
      are you talking about broadmoor and old jefferson in baton rouge?

      a friend of ours in broadmoor had a tree fall on their kids bedroom. they JUST completed purchase of the house last week!!
      luckily, they were not home when the tree fell.

      we live in mid city and pretty much everybody except brcc has no lights. Government St. by our lady of mercy school had a tree fall over that blocked all lanes. Coppers working today and he said its worse than Katrina (for us), pretty much as bad as Andrew was. My mom lives off of seven oaks and her street is completely blocked on both ends by fallen trees.

      The wind did make for a nice cool breeze, almost enough for a light blanket. now its just hot as hell! ")

      how did new orleans do?

        Old Jefferson in New Orleans. We still have power (yay!), and I've seen some of my neighbors return today, though most of them are first responders.

        Lots of rain today, but still no flooding.

    If anyone is in Pearl River LA go down to the school or any of the shelters and offer people a room...they have closed one...giving no one an alternative...if they are on the streets the local cops are harrassing them, telling them to go back to where they came which is NOLA and will not let them back in!... Many are in quite a dilemma of having no where to go in that town right now
