Hurricane Gustav

Yeah...I'm hoping (and praying) that it the models will change once again....They will probably change 10 more times in the next 3 days. Yesterday it looked decent, today...not so much. I don't even think we can cancel at this point!

I have several Russian friends who are very sensitive. I am just trying to look out for them.

The thing about Hurricanes is there is No good place to wish they would go, except to send them to He!!.

Now now Minnie,
Hurricanes have a right to be here just like rattle snakes, coyotes and scorpions.

local news in Cincy tonight showed our local Red Cross emergency response vehicle packing up...they are heading to Montgomery to wait...my fondest hope is they will not be needed...stay safe everyone, prayers for all

Just a quick question, what category was Ivan? We got wind driven rain damage with Ivan and I, worried.

I don't have any russian friends, but I went to a wedding in Sweden so I can't say anything bad about them either.

Ivan was a Cat 3 hurricane when it hit Gulf Shores.

Maybe a silly question but how far does one need to go to off the coast to get to safety?

Not a silly question at all.

Growing up in Andalusia (approx. 65 - 70 miles from coast), we felt the effects of hurricanes and tropical storms all the time. Major wind damage, trees uprooted; terrifying at times. All the motels were full with evacuees.

Depending on the storm category, I would at least travel that distance or further north, based on my experience.
